Chelsea interim manager Roberto Di Matteo has hinted that he may take the Blues job on a permanent basis but has insisted that victories are necessary to keep his position at the club.

The former Premier League champions are in the hunt for a new manager to move to Stamford Bridge in the summer following the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas last month.

When asked what it would take to secure the full-time job, Di Matteo said: "It's a fantastic club, but I need to win games. It's a results business and that's all that matters."

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has been known to be ruthless in his dismissal of managers but Di Matteo is believed to be a genuine contender for the role, especially if the 41-year-old can lead the Blues to their first Champions League trophy.
