Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti is confident of his future at Stamford Bridge regardless of the outcome of this evening’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against Manchester United.
The Blues have long been keen to win the Champions League for owner Roman Abramovich and, with the club well adrift in the race for the Premier League and out of the FA Cup, Europe’s showpiece competition is the only piece of silverware the side can realistically still win. But a goal behind against United, the task looks a tough one.
"My future is already decided", said Ancelotti when questioned about whether a Champions League exit would mean the axe will fall on his time at Chelsea.
"It is not important that I speak with Roman, I have a contract."
And Ancelotti also said he was delighted to be involved in such a high level fixture as it tested his abilities to the full.
"To be involved in this game is fantastic for my job, for my career. So I’m not afraid. I’m not worried about this.
"I’m happy to have a possibility to be involved in this game, to use my ability and my skill to give the players the skills to play at their best."
