Blues ‘to meet Guardiola’s brother tomorrow’ as Di Matteo is linked with Villa
Chelsea chiefs will meet with Pep Guardiola’s brother on Monday and believe they can tempt the former Barcelona boss to take over at Stamford Bridge, according to The People.
It is claimed that the club will tell Guardiola he would be under no pressure to win trophies during his first two seasons in charge.
Meanwhile, Roberto Di Matteo is a front runner for the Aston Villa manager’s job, the Sunday Mirror say.
There has been speculation that the Italian, who has a house in the Midlands following his spell as West Brom boss, is interested in taking over at Villa because of the uncertainty surrounding his future at Chelsea.
It is claimed that there is now a strong possibility that he will succeed the sacked Alex McLeish.
The Sunday Mirror also suggest that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is determined to appoint Guardiola even if he has to wait a year, and that Ryan Bertrand is in line for a new contract.

Deluded Chelsea fans. Why would any manager with a great reputation want to risk it at a joke club with a manager merry go round. A squad that has peaked, the only fight left in that squad was in the CL by a key player who is leaving. Now the players feel they have achieved as much as MUFC players or LFC players they will have no motivation left in the mercenary type players at the plastic club.

What’s Guardiola going to do that Di Matteo hasn’t? An FA Cup and Champions League is some target. If Pep comes to the Bridge and doesn’t win the League, Cup and CL next year, he’ll be an abject failure!!!!
