Lukaku found opportunities limited during Villas Boas’ brief reign at Stamford Bridge.
“Di Matteo was the man who gave Lukaku individual workouts,” said Cristophe Henrotay.
“He knows Lukaku so much better than anyone else on the Chelsea staff.
“Presumably a new coach will try new things to help the team become successful again. And in this case there will be a chance for Romelu because of the change.
“But of course it is also possible that he will opt for safety and try to rekindle the old guard.”
