'Di Matteo/Clarke partnership could give Villa fans the success they’ve been craving for years'published at 17:30 British Summer Time 2 June 2016
Rob Gurney
BBC WM SportDi Matteo’s appointment has been on the cards for a while, particularly since the other leading candidate for the Villa job, Nigel Pearson, joined Derby.
There’s plenty of symmetry to their respective careers too. The pair played together at Chelsea, and Clarke worked successfully as Jose Mourinho’s assistant at Stamford Bridge too, while Di Matteo won the Champions League when in charge of the Londoners four years ago.
Image source, Getty ImagesClearly getting Villa out of the Championship at the first attempt will be a wholly different proposition for Clarke, with Di Matteo alongside him.
Intriguingly, of course, both worked separately as head coach at West Bromwich Albion, where Di Matteo DID get The Baggies promoted back into the Premier League in his first season in charge in 2009/10. So as long as their ideas mesh, the Di Matteo/Clarke partnership could give the Villa fans the success they’ve been craving for years.
