Ancelotti’s future at Chelsea looks bleak

London, Dec 28 (ANI): Carlo Ancelotti’s future looks bleak after Chelsea were convincingly beaten by Arsenal and has now picked up just six points from their last eight league games.
Only Fulham have a worse record over the same period, The Sun reports.
Asked if he felt owner Roman Abramovich still has faith in him, Ancelotti admitted: “I don’t really know. I believe I have his confidence but obviously he will not be happy at the moment.”
“I will take my responsibility but this is a question you have to ask him, not me. I’m not afraid about my job. Everyone said I did a fantastic job last year. We have to do better. It’s not usual Chelsea cannot win for six games,” The Sun quoted him, as saying.
Chelsea’s previous worst run in the Premier League saw them go six games without a win. Then manager Gianluca Vialli paid for that with his job back in September 2000.
Ancelotti said: “At the moment, it’s no good for anybody. But we have to have confidence. We are sleeping now. If you play against a good team like Arsenal, you lose if you don’t wake up. We have to wake up. Maybe I have to be the first to wake up.”
The defending champions were five points clear in October but are now six behind and have not won a league game since Ray Wilkins was axed as Ancelotti’s No 2 last month. (ANI)
