\"Roberto Di Matteo spent six years at Chelsea<\/span> <\/p>\n

Former Chelsea player Roberto Di Matteo has been named as manager Andre Villas-Boas’s first-team assistant coach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Italian has been out of work since leaving West Brom in February<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Di Matteo, 41, spent six years at Stamford Bridge where he won two FA Cup titles, the League Cup and the Uefa Cup Winners’ Cup.<\/p>\n

“If you see the technical staff in front of me, and my appointment of Roberto, these are people who like the quality of the game,” said Villas-Boas.<\/p>\n

Steve Holland, who led last season’s reserve side to the title, also becomes a first-team assistant coach with Christophe Lollichon continuing as goalkeeping coach.<\/p>\n

Villas-Boas has also added Jose Mario Rocha, a 48-year-old fitness expert, to his backroom staff, having worked alongside him at previous clubs Porto and Academica.<\/p>\n

Daniel Sousa has also been brought over from Portugal to take the up the role of head opposition scout, the role previously occupied by Villas-Boas in his first spell at Stamford Bridge between 2004 and 2007.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
