Is Ancelotti set to walk?

(15-12-2010) Chelsea players fear manager Carlo Ancelotti is on the verge of quitting, claims a report in Wednesday’s Sun newspaper. Apparently the Italian has become “disillusioned with life at Stamford Bridge” following the sacking of his No.2 Ray Wilkins and will step down at the end of the season. "The atmosphere isn't good at the moment,” a Chelsea insider is quoted as saying. "Everyone is convinced Carlo has had enough, though absolutely everyone is desperate for him to stay. He's very, very popular with the players, who believe that he is an excellent manager." Ancelotti led Chelsea to the Double last season - his first in charge of the club. However, after a sensational start to this campaign they have taken six points from the last 21 to slip to fourth place on the EPL standings.
