Aston Villa set to appoint Champions League winning manager

It has been reported by the The Telegraph that Aston Villa are on the brink of appointing former Chelsea and Schalke 04 manager, Roberto Di Matteo.



From the report, it has been suggested that the Italian has been in talks with Aston Villa’s chairman Steve Hollis, and it is believed that Aston Villa’s new owner Tony Xia is a keen admirer of Roberto Di Matteo.

Tony Xia believes that the appointment of Di Matteo could boost Aston Villa’s reputation and popularity in the Far East.

The success that Roberto Di Matteo had at Chelsea with an unlikely Champions League victory has given him the edge on the other potential candidates.

However although from a business standpoint, the appointment of Di Matteo makes sense from a footballing perspective less so.

Roberto Di Matteo’s experience in recent years is primarily in the top flight of both England and Germany but not the Championship.

The alternatives to Roberto Di Matteo albeit less glamorous options in David Moyes and Nigel Pearson may well be the better option. Especially Pearson who has the experience and know-how to gain promotion from the Championship.

Although there are no doubts that Roberto Di Matteo is a talented young manager whether or not he will be able to cope with the arduous process of a Championship campaign is yet to be seen.

Yet to be proven if he could cope in the championship? Wasn't he the guy who got WBA promoted to the Premier League the last time they went up? Or am I thinking of someone else?
