whats the relation between Benitez and Villas Boas :

Benitez, lol.

He probably was already sacked, and I'm sure he knew it, but as I said in other topic, he wasn't allowed to say so in public.

"Chelsea's long-term football objectives and ambitions remain unchanged and we will now be concentrating all our efforts on identifying a new manager." Most important thing.

Carlo is a great guy. I never expected he would win the double in his first season. He deserve respect. But its time to move on, and sadly he is not the kind of manager we need right now. Farewell Carlo. "Carlo will always be welcome at Stamford Bridge, where he will be given the reception and respect his position in our history deserves."

http://www.chelseafc...2364758,00.html CHELSEA STATEMENT Posted on: Sun 22 May 2011Chelsea Football Club can confirm that Carlo Ancelotti parted company with the club today (Sunday, 22 May). The owner and board would like to thank Carlo for his contribution and achievements since taking over as manager in July 2009, which included winning the Double for the first time in the club's history. However, this season's performances have fallen short of expectations and the club feels the time is right to make this change ahead of next season's preparations. Carlo will always be welcome at Stamford Bridge, where he will be given the reception and respect his position in our history deserves. Chelsea's long-term football objectives and ambitions remain unchanged and we will now be concentrating all our efforts on identifying a new manager. There will be no further comment until that appointment is made.

Back on the subject of the topic: Whats gonna happen if Turkey go to next Euro ? Imagine if Roman wait for Hiddink, and then he just is not able to leave Turkey until 2012...O hope that Roman already have some plan B in his mind.

there was a mistake in your post. I couldn't let it pass.

Indeed. His hair cut might be cool, but as a defender he has his a weakness, as liosden said. Lack os positional awareness, discipline and the ability to read the game. Luiz is a very versatility player, if we find a visionary manager who can exploit his talents he can even play in different positions. I think he would be a amazing right back or defensive midfielder. Hiddink would be perfect for that. Just remember that him was the one who discovered Ivanovic as right back. If not him, Carlo would have used Ferreira and Bosingwa as our main right backs in last two seasons.

The board is not as passionate as supporters. They know whats is better for Chelsea than the fans do. Thats why they sacked all those managers, and now nobody misses them.

In fact some players know they are leaving...so, whats the motivation they had for this match ?

lol.

This match is not important, his fate was already decided, but if Roman still had misgivings about sacking him or not, I'm sure after this match he don't have anymore.

in fact there was one article in Times yesterday saying Carlo is to meet with the board next week, and the article also stated that Roman have no plans to be in this meeting. So an official statement might come only in next days.

Not sure if Luiz "must" be a starting cb. Alex and Terry is still the best partnership we have in the defense. But, his "revenge" against Luiz is just ridiculous. Only stupid managers do such a thing. When Alex went off the natural choice was putting Luiz, instead he asked for Ferreira, Thats enough for me. In Carlo I've never trusted.

but this period is called pre-season. The current season is over, eldinho.

We are now finishing with the same points as City. Still some people will say that this season was not that bad.

Since Luiz made that mistake against United he never played again for us.<div><br></div><div>How great coach is Carlo.</div>

It seems that Ancelotti and Carlo started their careers at Chelsea. Hiddink is by far a better coach than Ancelotti.

fixed.

indeed.

After Ancelotti fucking with his football off course he is worth only 4m, but before that he was worth 18m.

"Mate, I've already stated this point, so I'll explain it shortly. We don't need a better coach than Carlo, we need a coach with certain abilities. It isn't because we hire a better manager than Ancelotti that he will do a better job, and vice versa." 'killamanjaro' answer pages ago.

I'm sure he already know his fate. I don't believe that he is waiting to meet the board and then they will say: - Your job was good, you stay. - You should have done better, you leave. Carlo is in permanent contact with these people. So its look he is leaving. If not, in interviews he would say: "I'm staying here next season". In general when a manager is sacked there's some clauses preventing them to say bad words about the club in the period of the contract. Thats why when Scolari was sacked he never said bad words about the club. I believe he know he is leaving, but he is not allowed to say so in public.
