DI MATTEO IS BACK: takes over as Schalke boss Former Chelsea and West Bromwich Albion boss Roberto Di Matteo has been appointed as the new manager of German club Schalke. The Italian, 44, succeeds Jens Keller following the Bundesliga clubs inconsistent start to the season. Schalke are 11th in the league with eight points from seven games, having won just twice. They are third in their Champions League group after two draws, including holding Chelsea 1-1 at Stamford Bridge. Di Matteo is set to face his former club when the two teams play the reverse fixture in Germany on 25 November. Roberto Di Matteos managerial record -------------------------------------------------------- * Milton Keynes Dons 2008-09 52 games - 27 wins, 11 draws & 14 defeats * West Brom 2009-11 83 games - 40 wins, 19 draws & 24 defeats * Chelsea 2012 42 games - 24 wins, 9 draws and 9 defeats This is Di Matteos first job since being dismissed by Chelsea in November 2012. He had taken over as caretaker Chelsea manager from Andre Villas-Boas in March 2012 and led the Blues to the Champions League title and FA Cup trophy that season. His success earned him a permanent deal but when he struggled in the following campaign his reign was brought to an end.
