Ancelotti New Chelsea Boss

1 Jun 2009

After very little speculation and to nobody's surprise Carlo Ancelotti has today been unveiled as Chelsea's new manager, their 4th in two years, 5th if you count Ray Wilkins one game.

Chelsea fans seem to me to now be acclimatised to these roller coaster rides and the outpourings of ambition that have followed previous managerial arrivals has been absent. The general consensus is that a change of direction maybe needed and a few changes to an aging line up needed. Ancelotti though has become famous for getting th ebest out of aging players and may not feel the same.

Personally I think it is a fantastic coup for Chelsea and I feel Ancelotti will likely bring Chelsea the Champions Cup within 3 years, and is certainly of the calibre that could deliver it next season with minimal changes to the existing squad.

The speculation will now be on who is staying and who is leaving. I suspect that there could be some bigger stories there in the next week or two. I have a suspicion that Ballack, Deco, Kalou, Bosingwa and possibly Anelka are on their way out. There are already rumours that a number of AC Milan players would like to follow their beloved coach to London and that is where I think they will look to first. I have my doubts that Kaka will be coming, mostly because of the price, but I have a suspicion that Beckham may be top of the shopping list.

What do you think?

Update 02-Jun-09 22:36 - Cor, I was way off there.

I can certainly see Bosingwa going, and maybe the rest too - not sure about Ballack tho

Kaka may well follow Ancelotti - Beckham tho I thought has always said he wouldn't play for another English club, doesn't mean he won't of course
