Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti insists he's not marking time this season.

Ancelotti has been linked with a return to Italy at AS Roma.

But he told the Daily Express: "I want to stay at Chelsea. I would like to extend my contract because I love these players and this club.

"Obviously it is just not my decision, but I don't think they require me to win a trophy to retain my position."
