Di Matteo: this is a historic evening, so let's not talk about my future © EuroFootball.com

London coach Roberto Di Matteo, celebrating victory in the Champions League final, did not want to talk about his future.

His post at Chelsea was only until the end of the season, having taken over in March after the dismissal of Andre Villas Boas, but the excellent results could lead to a long-term contract.

"My future is not an important question. Whatever the club decides, I will have to respect it. Understand that what we discuss with owner Roman Abramovich is not for public disclosure," said Di Matteo.

He continued: "Abramovich seemed as happy as the players, fans, and all team members, because this evening is historic for the club. Football is crazy and unpredictable, so we really couldn't expect what happened over these past three months. I am extremely happy for the players, as they worked hard and achieved what we couldn't do in 2008."

Didier Drogba, who scored the equalizing goal and converted the decisive penalty in the shootout, told journalists: "I truly believe in destiny. This victory was prophesied long ago. God is amazing. The team is excellent. I want to dedicate this trophy to all the coaches and players who have worked so far. I am incredibly happy. Life is fantastic."
