Chelsea Sack Ancelotti

Chelsea this evening sacked boss Carlo Ancelotti after they failed to win any silverware this season thesun.co.ukreports.

The Blues were beaten 1-0 by Everton in the final match of the campaign at Goodison Park today.
Ancelotti has been under pressure for a number of months and his future has been uncertain after failing to challenge Manchester United for the Premier League title.
They were also knocked out of the Champions League in the semi-finals to United.

A Chelsea statement read: “We can confirm that Carlo Ancelotti parted company with the club today.
“The owner and board would like to thank Carlo for his contribution and achievements since taking over as manager in July 2009, which included winning the Double for the first time in the club’s history.
“However, this season’s performances have fallen short of expectations and the club feels the time is right to make this change ahead of next season’s preparations.
“Carlo will always be welcome at Stamford Bridge, where he will be given the reception and respect his position in our history deserves.
“Chelsea’s long-term football objectives and ambitions remain unchanged and we will now be concentrating all our efforts on identifying a new manager.”
