CARLO ANCELOTTI SACKED AS CHELSEA MANAGER

A few years ago I asked Ron Atkinson why he had been sacked as the Atletico Madrid manager after only three months."Because we have slipped all the way down to second in La Liga!" was his reply.Last season Carlo Ancelotti did Chelsea's first League and FA Cup double.This season he slipped all the way down to second in the Premier League and went out in the quarter-finals of the European Champions League.He was sacked within an hour of the final game at Everton.A bit like West Ham's sudden sacking of Avram Grant in the room after their last game...no style!Working for Roman Abramovich brings a big lucrative contract but no long-time job prospects at Stamford Bridge.The Russian has bought some success--an enormous amount in fairness by Chelsea's standards but he will never match Manchester United's!
