Carlo Ancelotti has already considered a future with Chelsea, according to revelations made by the Milan coach in his autobiography.

FOOTBALL Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has already considered a future with Chelsea, according to revelations made in his autobiography. - 0

In 'Preferisco La Coppa' ('I Prefer The Cup') the 49-year-old describes two meetings he claims to have held with Blues owner Roman Abramovich last year in Geneva and Paris.

Ancelotti admits he found himself plotting the best way forward for the Stamford Bridge club.

"I confess that at certain points in 2008-09 I watched my DVDs of John Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba," said the Italian, who won two Champions League titles with Milan.

"I was already the coach of the boys on paper."

Despite the revelations in his book, Ancelotti claimed he would remain at the San Siro with Milan if he is asked to do so by the Serie A club.

  2. stop subjecting us chelsea fans yet again to this­ manager merry go round get it sorted there must be a­ way to get gus hiddink to stay he's given the team­ direction but he's leaving before he's­ completed the job com on roman you must have som­ influence with these russians I think deep down Mr­ hiddink would love to stay just watch the press over­ the next few days and weeks you all wait and see I­ sense a change of heart?.... to change the mmod a­ little it was just pure brilliant television to see­ Alex fergusons face last night that smug arrogant grin­ wiped clean that was sweet

  3. c'mon chelsea fans have some imagination and stop­ dwelling on the past. Jose's reign was very good­ and no doubt he deserves praise, but he has moved on so­ why cant u. begging for him to come back, thats just­ the thing he wants to improve his image in the media.­ Look at guss do u see him acting all boastful and full­ of pride? No he is a true reflection of a great­ sportsman and as a person. Guss or Rikhard 4 chelsea.

  7. Please God not Moyes

    From danspam, on Wed 27 May 9:59PM

  8. moyes has a pretty impressive managerial career! i­ think chelsea would do well with a lesser profile­ manager than a high profile manager .i think with a­ high profile manager everyone is looking to find faults­ the minute he is appointed where as a lesser manager­ isn't targeted for a weakness straight away! Moyes­ for chelsea

    From arronguk, on Wed 27 May 8:32PM

  9. moyes 4 chelsea WTF ???????? you need to stay off the­ crak mate :)

    From Deano, on Wed 27 May 7:33PM

  10. IF U WANT TO GO TO CHELSEA GO AND NOT ALL THIS MEDIA­ FUSS

    From efozia, on Wed 27 May 6:38PM

  11. moyes is a good premier manager but not an exceptional­ premier manager he is an absolute no no for the blues.­ we all want hiddink but its not going to happen yet so­ lets convince roman to carry on wih the present­ situation with guus still managing russia and part time­ manager at chelsea until the 2010 wold cup ends then­ sign him permanent as trevor.wightman correctly pointed­ out. guus has already proved the doubters wrong when­ they said he couldnt do both jobs.

  12. david moyes 4 chelsea

    From Lucy, on Wed 27 May 5:30PM

  13. hiddink chelsea

    From KEVIN, on Wed 27 May 4:35PM

  14. i think that Ancelotti is one of the best he managed­ milan for 7 years and limited budget about €30m as u­ can see milan only buys old players coz theyr cheap so­ if he goes to chealse then he will prove whos better­ him or MOURINHO­ the coming season will tell

    From msagheir, on Wed 27 May 3:59PM

  15. Completely agree with you starman, Moyes would be­ really suitable for chelsea.

    From peri, on Wed 27 May 3:40PM

  16. The problem with roman abramovich is that,He fail to­ distinguish between popularity and riches.He may be­ rich anyway but.Mourinho is more popular.Beg MOURINHO­ to come back to his promise land (CHEALSEA) and what­ happen to the blues.

    From abiodun i, on Wed 27 May 2:21PM

  17. Carlo Ancelotti's good for Chelsea cos he's­ proven over the years at Milan that he's capable of­ managing top sides.

    From Erskine Sam, on Wed 27 May 2:02PM

  18. as a true chelsea fan,i will like chelsea to keep guss­ no matter what or try to sign Rikaard. Ancelotti is not­ good enough for chelsea. we need someone like guss,­ jose and Rikaard. we dont have to make the mistaken­ again,Up Chelsea

    From edward, on Wed 27 May 1:17PM

  19. GUSS SHOULD STAY NO MATTER WHAT, best manger there is.­ angelotti is good, but look at the average age of his­ squad, elders house! he is good for a short period of­ time , but for the chelsea project , (in the long run)­ he is not.

    From Adel, on Wed 27 May 1:06PM

  20. Roman Abramovich , please , not Ancelotti , it's­ going to be the same as Scolary ..... He is not good­ enough for Chelsea. Take Rikaard , take Jose­ back.....but , please not Ancelotti , it's going to­ be a big mistake. I hope some one of your stuff reading­ this comments.
