Chelsea boss Ancelotti accepts job on line after Mourinho shock
Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti knows his job is on the line after last night's Champions League elimination.
Inter Milan deservedly booked their place in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League thanks to a 79th-minute winner from Samuel Eto'o.
Ancelotti conceded that last night's loss to former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho was a big blow.
He said: "Now we have two important competitions. We're at the top of the list and want to win.
"We'll have more pressure on the next few games but we must be strong and have good control of our emotions. Maybe this defeat could be a very good motivation for the next few games.
"My regret is we didn't play as well as we did in the first leg this evening. But I've worked for a long time in this environment and I know exactly what expectations are.
"It's normal that a manager is going to come under pressure if he loses a few matches."

I don't know why Chelsea weren't awarded at least one penalty, but overall Inter were the better team. Italian players are much more skillful than England's corrupted foreign players. Once they come to the British Isles they seem to forget how to play with composure, creativity, intelligence, and flair. Chelsea need a clear-out, not because of this result, but because our players are far too old and far too ill-equipped to continue playing as they are for a club like Chelsea. The first l'd sell would be DROGBA. Congratulations to Inter Milan. Although the referee didn't do us any favours, their tactics were spot on. Chelsea are so predictatble...
It better to crash out now than losing in the final, blues 4life .
Chelsea should leave him and let us have a long serving coach as like manu, liverpool and arsenal.
If chelsea should sack carlos, they will also sack the next one to come.
