It's not a bad bet. Chelsea will be competing.
Have never been a fan of Rafa as a person, but he has achieved success with a lot weaker squads before so it's a chance for him to come back from the wildnerness also and he will take it.
He may have got the job mainly because he was the last to get the best out of Torres, and he has 2 months to either get him back to his best, or up his value a little so he is easier to sell on but I wouldn't bet against him achieving success and staying around possibly with Guardiola (if as believed he is still first choice). Rafa has already stated that he has a good relationship with Guardiola, which was a strange comment about a potential replacement.
Di Matteo is and always will be a Chelsea legend, and all fans wish him well. He rode his luck a little last year, and this year it bit him back, but he will get a great job after this. His only "crime" was not blending last year's more defensive style with this year's more flamboyant style quick enough.
