Ancelotti refuses to speak about his Blues future

London, Apr. 21 (ANI): Coach Carlo Ancelotti has refused to comment about his future at Chelsea FC despite the club making a sensational comeback in the Barclays Premier League title race.
Chelsea is placed within six points of Manchester United after beating Birmingham 3-1 last night to leapfrog ailing Arsenal into second place and give themselves a glimmer of hope of retaining their crown.
Manager Ancelotti believes his side need to win their remaining five matches, which include a trip to Old Trafford, and hope United lose one more game to snatch the title. The Italian appeared all but resigned to losing his job after Chelsea crashed out of the Champions League last week, but retaining the championship would surely make owner Roman Abramovich think twice about giving him the boot.
The Independent quoted Ancelotti, as saying: “Questions with ‘if’ are not good. At the end of the season, we will have a big press conference - a strong and tough press conference.”
He added: “In football, I learned that everything can happen in the game right up to the final whistle. You can win the title in the last minute, and you can lose the title in the last minute.” (ANI)
