Ancelotti has Blues backing despite worst run in 15 years

CARLO ANCELOTTI last night continued to enjoy the backing of the Chelsea hierarchy, despite his reign having sunk to a new low.

It is understood that concern has increased over the Blues’ worst run of Premier League results for 15 years, which culminated in Wednesday night’s defeat at Wolves.

But billionaire owner Roman Abramovich is currently resisting any urge he might have to axe Ancelotti, with the club confident the former AC Milan boss is still the right man to turn things around.
