BBC Sport - Carlo Ancelotti leaves Chelsea after defeat by Everton

From Chelsea site :

Chelsea Football Club can confirm that Carlo Ancelotti parted company with the club today (Sunday, 22 May).

The owner and board would like to thank Carlo for his contribution and achievements since taking over as manager in July 2009, which included winning the Double for the first time in the club's history.

However, this season's performances have fallen short of expectations and the club feels the time is right to make this change ahead of next season's preparations.

Carlo will always be welcome at Stamford Bridge, where he will be given the reception and respect his position in our history deserves.

Chelsea's long-term football objectives and ambitions remain unchanged and we will now be concentrating all our efforts on identifying a new manager.

There will be no further comment until that appointment is made.

Well looks like another English club has taken the European route. Is this the face of English football , Sacking a world class manager like Ancelotti after such a short time?. Sad days really, the man is a world class manager and the oil baron wont give him, or any other man, any time to prove himself in England.

Absolute joke..

Look at the statement

"which included winning the Double for the first time in the club's history" < LAST YEAR

"However, this season's performances have fallen short of expectations..." < FINISHED 2ND

Abramovich will ruin that club in the end with his obsession with the UCL..

On a slightly funnier note..

Fernando Torres ended the season with 1 goal for Chelsea and has been present at 3 manager sackings in 12 months..

Jinxed Judas

Unfortunately ther's plenty of them around. Ask Mr. Mourinho.

Daniel Sturridge scored more goals while on-loan, than Drogba,Anelka and Torres scored between them in the same amount of time

It seemed obvious from the last few tv interviews he's done that he really couldn't be arsed with the hassle anymore.

I think he wanted out.

i never took to him but it seems the owner spends more money hiring and firing managers than on the team (except this jan) and a lot of players have been with us for a long time and have gone stale so moving on the likes of drogba,anelka,malouda,zhirkov might be a good move for the players and the club and i'll be amazed if hilario and ferrera are there next season to,i'd love mourinho to come back for 2 reasons 1) he knows how to win things and motivates the players 2) keep him away from manchester cos if he goes to one of them everyone else can forget it. if ancelotti is a world class manager why the interest in the west ham job? fair enough he won the double last season which was helped by doing the double over man utd and arsenal but he still lost a few games and over 2 seasons lost 22 games and nobody is going to win the champions league getting beat that often just the sub standard premier league of the last 2 seasons.
