The first manager of Chelsea Football Club was John Tait Robertson, appointed in 1905. The club 's current manager is Maurizio Sarri, having been appointed on 14 July 2018. Chelsea have had 28 permanent managers ( of whom four also served as player - manager ), and nine short - term managers. Ron Suart and Roberto Di Matteo have served as both short - term manager and permanent manager. Chelsea 's first ever manager was Scottish wing - half John Tait Robertson, who continued to play for the club until he resigned a year later.

Statistically Chelsea 's least successful manager is also Blanchflower, who won just 16 % of his 32 matches in charge. The first manager under whom Chelsea won a major trophy was Ted Drake, who guided the club to the league championship in the 1954 -- 55 season. Tommy Docherty, Dave Sexton, Ruud Gullit, Gianluca Vialli, José Mourinho, Guus Hiddink, Carlo Ancelotti, Roberto Di Matteo, Rafael Benítez and Antonio Conte have also won major trophies with the club. Drake led Chelsea to its first league title in 1955, while Sexton managed the club to their first European honour, a UEFA Cup Winners ' Cup triumph in 1971 and Vialli guided Chelsea to win the 1998 UEFA Super Cup.
