Roberto Di Matteo, who officially signed a two-year contract on Wednesday, will continue to work as Chelsea's strategist in London.
The 41-year-old specialist temporarily led the team from March, when he replaced the fired Portuguese manager Andre Villas-Boas.
Under the guidance of the Italian coach, the "Blues" lost only three matches out of 21 and triumphed in the UEFA Champions League and the English Football Association Cup.
Such results, along with the support of the team's key players, prompted the club owner Roman Abramovich not to look for other candidates and offer Di Matteo to continue working. However, the decision could have been different, but former "Barcelona" coach Pep Guardiola did not want to move to London.
