Roberto Di Matteo was brought in to be Villas-Boas' right-hand man when he took over the Blues hot seat in the off-season.

The Italian was handed the reins following the Portuguese's dismissal after just nine months in charge, but Villas-Boas says it came as no surprise to him that Di Matteo suffered a similar fate.

"It's their decision, it's what they think will take them forward," he told the BBC.

"At Chelsea, I think another sacking is just like any other day at the office. That's my interpretation.

"He has achieved so much in such a little amount of time," Villas-Boas added on Di Matteo's success at Stamford Bridge.

"His CV is maybe one of the best in the world now - he has won the Champions League and the FA Cup too.

"It was difficult for Robbie and I wish him well for the rest of his career."
