Ancelotti Makes Exit From Chelsea
After leading Chelsea to the Barclays Premier League and FA Cup Double last season Carlo Ancelotti has paid the price for not living up to club owners Roman Abramovich high expectations and he has parted ways with the club.
In the just completed 2011 Premier League season Chelsea has ended the season in second place on 71 points, nine adrift of champion Manchester United. The team did not collect any trophies this season.
The club said this in a statement on the Chelsea FC website.
“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”.
The club also said there is no word on who will take over as manager.
