Chelsea boss Ancelotti: Abramovich relationship still fantastic

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti says his relationship with owner Roman Abramovich remains "fantastic".

Ancelotti is the sixth manager of the Abramovich era, with the Russian having lost patience with previous bosses over their failure to land the Champions League.

Asked about the importance of stability at a club, the Italian said: "I came from a country that they don't think that continuity is the right thing.

"I stayed eight years at Milan. It was good. The most important thing for a club, and for a manager, is to have a good relationship with the club, the owner.

"When this relationship is not good, you have to change.

"Until now, the relationship with the owner is fantastic.

"He has supported me this season when we didn't achieve important results. If, at the end of the season, the owner decides my job was not good enough, this is not a problem.

"I will try to do my best, because I want to stay here. If there is a possibility to do that, I will be happy."
