Mata believes it will not be long until Di Matteo is back in another management role, adding: "He's a very good coach and a legend at Chelsea, people have such a lot of affection for him. "Yes, there were hard and difficult moments, as there can be at any club, but they were more than made up for. "And I'm sure he'll soon have the opportunity to coach again."
