Top Tweets on Roberto Di Matteo's sacking

The lightening has struck at Stamford Bridge for the 9th time in the last 10 years today. Roberto Di Matteo has been sacked today after a series of poor performances from the Blues. He is the league’s first managerial casualty this season, with the club sacking him after suffering a loss at the hands of Juventus last night, which has left them on the brink of elimination from the Champions League. Arguably, if it happens, Chelsea will be the first defending European champions to be knocked out in the first round itself.

Rafa Benitez and Pep Guardiola are the top names linked with Chelsea for the vacant post. Who succeeds Di Matteo remains to be seen, but for now let’s enjoy the best tweets on Roberto Di Matteo’s sacking:

Being sacked before Mark Hughes this season is an achievement. Well done Roberto Di Matteo. #CFC
