Avram Grant insists Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has told him he will be in charge next season.

Grant said: "I spoke with Roman after the match (against Liverpool). It was a private chat but he's happy, very happy. We are in contact.

"I have not spoken with him about my future. My 12-year-old daughter Romi is always asking me why the media want to know if I am staying.

"I tell her they're worried about me, they love me, they're concerned about me.

"My relationship here is good and everything will be OK. The first ambition was to be in the Champions League final, especially in Moscow as it means so much for our Russian owner.

"We did that. And now we are hungry for more success."
