Ex-Chelsea fullback Le Saux insists Ancelotti right man in charge

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Mon, 03/22/2010 - 11:22

Former Chelsea star Graeme Le Saux says Carlo Ancelotti is the right man in charge at Stamford Bridge.

In his column for the Daily Telegraph, Le Saux wrote: "Even if they fail to do so, even if they fail to win the Premier League, there can be no doubt this has been an immensely positive season for Chelsea and for Ancelotti.

Ever since Mourinho left in 2007, Chelsea have been searching for a replacement of similar stature and in Carlo, they have found that. He has the credibility and charisma Mourinho boasted, and the good relationship between manager and players that is portrayed in public is echoed in private. From speaking to those at Stamford Bridge, it is clear Ancelotti and his staff have created an excellent working environment.

"That shines through on the pitch. Players like Ashley Cole and Florent Malouda have flourished. The manager has handed young players their opportunity, and it is clear he is not picking by reputation. He has got every single player on board and convinced them to believe in his methods.

"Elimination from the Champions League has led to suggestions that all of the good work Ancelotti has done might be under threat, but I believe Chelsea's powerbrokers know they have the right man. All he needs is the chance to mould the side to his tactical ideology."

What tactical ideology? He has no clue on how to bring back chelsea fc to winning ways. Let's just wait for 2012 when Guus's contract with Turkey ends and romp him straight into the hot seat at Stamford bridge and then leave him to do whatever he wants with the team and see the positive results. Ancelotti is an average manager and chelsea fc needs an above average to a genius level coach. We cant afford to sack him now coz there are no good coaches available. Forget about bringing back Jose coz Roman will never swallow his pride to such level and also mind you Jose is too much a problem. No PR skills and very big ego. Chelsea fc is a big brand that neeeds to be well managed.
