Carlo plays cool on future as Blues focused on Latics

CARLO ANCELOTTI yesterday insisted his job as Chelsea manager did not depend on turning around the club’s Champions League quarter-final against Manchester United.

Wednesday night’s 1-0 first-leg defeat to United at Stamford Bridge has left the Blues in danger of finishing without a trophy for only the third time since Roman Abramovich’s takeover.

On both other occasions, Abramovich sacked the manager, despite Claudio Ranieri and Avram Grant leading the side to the Champions League semi-finals and final, respectively.
