Former Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri quit his post at AS Roma last night, which has led to increased speculation over the future of the current Blues manager Carlo Ancelotti, as many believe that he’d be tempted with a move back to Serie A despite distancing himself from the role.
Ancelotti has never shied away from his affection for Roma, the club where he once played and has said that he would like to coach them one day, so the rumours are understandable.
But the former AC Milan boss insists he will not walk out on Chelsea, he said:
“I have never quit, resigned or walked out and I`m not in the mood to quit now.
“So I am not here to consider my position – it is the owner that has to consider my position, not myself.
“I just have to work and try to do my best.
“This is football, you have to be able to manage at this moment with confidence”

Getting Mourinho back to Chelsea is more important than getting any player to Chelsea. It will bring immediate success, massive media attention (which is good for sponsors), and reunite two football essentials: financial punch (Abramovich) and coaching genius. Abramovich is a man of ambition. If he thinks Mourinho can get the results he will make the move…a move most Chelsea fans would go crazy for.
