New Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti is full of praise for Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.
The Italian insists that Blues owner Abramovich is one of the good guys — and that would never change is own 'Mr Nice Guy' image.
Ancelotti said: “I have a lot of respect for Mr Abramovich because he is really passionate – maybe the first supporter of his team.
“I don't just look at the period that I was sacked, I have to look at the whole period. I think that they key to the success of every manager is the relationship that you have with the players.
“Every year that I have problems owners say that you are too kind and you must use the whip and I tell them that I am not able to use the whip.
“No-one has used the whip against me in my life – not my father, not my teacher, managers. So I'm not able to do this."
