Carlo Ancelotti, at he pre-match Press Conference ahead of the Zilina game tomorrow has taken time out to speak of the rumours rife this morning of his "departure". He said:
"I don't know if it's enough to clarify my position today to close these rumours and speculation. These rumours are totally untrue. I don't know why they came out. I didn't speak with the LMA. They called me last night when I was at home, quiet, to find out what was happening.Hopefully this will put to bed all the speculation about his job for the time being as long as results improve.
These rumours are totally untrue. I have my contract until 2012, here, in this club. I've said a lot of times that I'd like to stay here.
I love not just this club, but these players. I have a lot of confidence in these players, in this squad, so there's no reason to change my ideas. I don't know if this is enough to speak about all this.
I think that when the team don't reach the right results, obviously the coach is under pressure. Obviously I am under pressure because I'd like Chelsea to win every game, but just this.
I am focused on my job and to give my team, my club ... to make us play better than we are at this moment. Just this."
We need a win against Newcastle on Sunday and a good performance from the youngsters tomorrow night to regain focus at the club.
For now Carlo seem's happy enough. Let's just hope Roman and Co remain the same.
