CARLO ANCELOTTI RETIRES FROM FOOTBALL MANAGEMENT
In a shock move Carlo Ancelotti has decided to not only step down from his role as Chelsea manager, but retire completely from football management. However, after building a strong relationship with the club and the owner, Roman Abramovich, in his one season at the helm, in which he won the Premier League and The FA Cup, he has decided that he will remain at the club and has therefore been appointed as the Director of Football.
In a press conference earlier today Ancelotti spoke about how he had ‘lost the motivation‘ to carry on managing and how he felt he needed a ‘change‘ and that this new role will help him achieve this. He also mentioned that he will ‘play a big part‘ in the decision making as to who will take over his job as manager of Chelsea Football Club.
There is much speculation as to who will replace Ancelotti with the forerunners being Guus Hiddink and Pep Guardiola. However, it is thought that Chelsea may take a different approach when hiring the new manager instead of just getting a big name and hoping for the best. Many are saying that Chelsea had already planned for this when hiring Carlo Ancelotti and that a young aspiring manager has been working under Ancelotti’s wing waiting for his moment in the spotlight.
