Chelsea FC Managers: A History of Success
From John Robertson to Roberto Di Matteo
John Robertson
John Robertson was the first manager of Chelsea Football Club, serving from 1905 to 1907. Under his leadership, Chelsea won the Southern League First Division title in 1905 and the FA Cup in 1907. Robertson also led Chelsea to their first-ever victory over a top-flight English team, beating Liverpool 2-0 in 1906.
Roberto Di Matteo
Roberto Di Matteo is the first manager to have won the UEFA Champions League for Chelsea. He took over as caretaker manager in March 2012 after the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas, and led the team to victory in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich. Di Matteo was also named Chelsea's permanent manager in June 2012, but was sacked in November 2012 after a poor run of results.
