The decision of who will be Chelsea's next permanent manager trails on, writes Daniel Mackrell.
Roberto Di Matteo has shot back to being favourite to take over the role, as Abramovich continues to struggle in his attempts to lure Pep Guardiola out of temporary retirement.
It's hard to not see Di Matteo as the right man for the job. He's shown that he has a solid tactical mind, and is good at juggling the ego's that are inevitably in the blues squad.Most of all he is a true blue, and his passion for the club runs through his veins.
My one issue is their hesitation to give him the permanent job. The fact that he is not seen as the first choice will inevitably put pressure onto Roberto in the sense that he knows Chelsea will still have their eye on Guardiola by the end of the next season. Any kind of slip up will lead to the papers pouncing on him, and suggesting that Pep is preparing a 2013/14 takeover of the club.

Also, is his 'Italian tactics' what Abramovich really wants from his clubs manager? Buying players such Hazard and Marin, to play alongside Mata and Torres (and maybe Hulk), surely Abramovich hopes for flowing attacking football that someone like Guardiola can bring.
It's no secret that Chelsea won the Champions League with grit and determination alongside spectacular defensive displays. However, this isn't the expectations going forward. It's no secret that the Chelsea owner wants the club to be the new Barcelona. Can Di Matteo adapt to more flowing football, and get the best out of our top attacking talents?
What are your thoughts? Is Di Matteo the right man to take over the job? Should Chelsea try and convince him to accept a one year contract? Let me know on twitter @worldofchelsea or in the comment section below!
