Ancelotti: I will not quit Chelsea(PA) Sunday 20 February 2011 Print Email my friend Share
Carlo Ancelotti has insisted he will never quit Chelsea, claiming owner Roman Abramovich must decide whether or not he should be sacked.
Ancelotti is under more pressure than ever at Stamford Bridge following Saturday's shock FA Cup defeat to Everton. It left Chelsea's season in real danger of unravelling completely, with the Premier League title all but surrendered and UEFA Champions League qualification hanging in the balance.
Their only remaining hope of silverware is also the latter competition, which they resume on Tuesday night when they visit FC Copenhagen in the last-16. Defeat in that tie would surely test billionaire owner Abramovich's patience to what could be breaking point.
But even if the unthinkable were to happen, manager Ancelotti will not jump before he is pushed. Asked if he would ever consider resigning, the Italian said: "No, not me. I don't have to consider my position. It is the owner that has to consider my position, not myself."
