    Ancelotti awaits news on future
    Chelsea have sacked manager Carlo Ancelotti.

    The announcement was made two hours after Chelsea's final-day 1-0 defeat by Everton, confirming the club's second-place finish in the Premier League.

    The 51-year-old had one more year left on his contract at Stamford Bridge.

    A club statement read: "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."

    Speculation had been mounting that Ancelotti would be sacked following Chelsea's first season without a trophy in three years.

    The west London club missed out on the Premier League title as Manchester United clinched their 19th title last week, further compounded by early exits in the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup during the season.

    Former manager Avram Grant suffered similar treatment when Chelsea finished second in the domestic table and the Champions League final in 2008.

    And ambitious owner Roman Abramovich, who bank-rolled an audacious £50m move for striker Fernando Torres during the January transfer window, will scour home and abroad in search of a successor capable of recapturing the Premier League from Manchester United, as well as the much-coveted Champions League trophy.

    "Chelsea's long-term football objectives and ambitions remain unchanged and we will now be concentrating all our efforts on identifying a new manager," read the club statement.

    "Good things come out of the garrisons" after his daughter won the 100m Gold For Jamaica.


    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

    Chelsea have parted company with manager Carlo Ancelotti following a season where they failed to win a trophy. The club confirmed the Italian's departure with a statement on the official Chelsea website shortly after defeat at Everton in the final game of the season.

    "Chelsea Football club can confirm that Carlo Ancelotti parted company with the club today (Sunday, 22 May)," the statement read.

    "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.

    The Porto manager, André Villas Boas, has been named early favourite to replace Ancelotti by bookmakers. Guus Hiddink, who took temporary charge of the club in 2009, has been made second favourite while José Mourinho is available at 4/1 along with the Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp.

        I hope Chelsea hires Avram Grant. Afterall, he is the only manager to get them in the UCL final.
