Ancelotti: Blues are Roman's team
Carlo Ancelotti says Jose Mourinho was wrong to use the term "my
Chelsea" as the team is not his, nor the Portuguese's, but Roman
Abramovich's.
The Inter coach made a high-profile trip to Stamford Bridge
to watch his former club defeat Fulham during the Christmas period
and the 'Special One' gave an interview where he called Stamford
Bridge his "home".
Since leaving the club in 2007, Mourinho has described the
Blues as "my Chelsea", but Ancelotti said: "It's not true. It's not
his team. It's the team of Roman Abramovich.
"It's not mine, it's Roman Abramovich's. Mourinho had the
honour to train this club and I do too. This team is Roman
Abramovich's team."
Avram Grant, Luiz Felipe Scolari and Guus Hiddink have taken
charge since Mourinho's departure but Ancelotti is not concerned by
the quick turnover of managers at Chelsea.
"Now is the time (for Chelsea to stick with a manager)," said
the former AC Milan coach. "Pressure is normal when you do this job
and I am not afraid of pressure. Here it is different, there is
less pressure than the last year in Milan for me."
