New Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay says finding stability with management is a major part of his plans.

Chelsea have gone through five managers in just two years and Gourlay admits hope that Carlo Ancelotti can end the sequence.

He told chelseafc.com: "It's a fantastic start but the whole stability and continuity is very important to me and the business going forwards. Carlo, at his last club, stability was part of the make-up. You are looking at a coach who has won the top competition twice as a coach and as a player as well.

"So I think confidence comes with stability in all the day-to-day goings on and there is a real buzz around Chelsea at the moment. That's thanks to Carlo and the support Carlo has around him."
