SCOT Peter Leven admits he can't wait to start work under new MK Dons gaffer Roberto Di Matteo.
The former Chelsea, Lazio and Italy superstar took his first job in management last week when he replaced Paul Ince.
Leven first met Di Matteo on Thursday and is excited about learning from a man whowas once one of Europe's top midfielders.
The 24-year-old said: "I'm delighted he has got the job. We've lost one top class ex-midfielder but replaced him with another.
"I used to watch Roberto on TV and he was a cracking player.
"He has played at the top level. I can't wait to get started and I'll hopefully learn a lot from him."
