Ancelotti will not walk out on Chelsea contract

Carlo Ancelotti is not thinking of jumping ship at Chelsea.

The Daily Mail says Blues owner Roman Abramovich, who was in the Caribbean on Tuesday, is not expected at tonight's game against Bolton Wanderers.

Ancelotti has no intention of walking out on £6million-a-year contract which expires in 2012 and his greatest short-term protection is Chelsea's drive to cut costs and Abramovich's reluctance to pay another big compensation settlement.

There is also a shortage of alternatives in the open market, with Guus Hiddink now tied to Turkey.
