Ancelotti exit paves way for Chelsea move

CARLO ANCELOTTI is being widely tipped to be named Chelsea manager in the next few days after confirming his exit from AC Milan by “mutual consent” – and he has admitted he would like to make Kaka his first signing.

The 49-year-old left the Rossoneri after over seven years in charge following a 2-0 win at Fiorentina yesterday which secured third in Serie A and a place in the group stages of the Champions League.

Ancelotti, who twice made Milan European champions, is now set to be named as Guus Hiddink’s replacement at Stamford Bridge for next season even if he insists his next posting has not been confirmed.
