Ancelotti says he's not about to quit

6:03 am on 23 November 2010

Carlo Ancelotti has dismissed rumours that he is considering quitting as manager of the Chelsea football club.

Speculation over the Italian's future at Stamford Bridge intensified after a third defeat in four games at the weekend.

The Blues lost 1-nil at Birmingham, and afterwards Ancelotti admitted he was not in total control at Chelsea.

But speaking before tomorrow's Champions League game against MSK Zilina, he says the rumours are untrue and he has no idea where they've come from.

Ancelotti also insisted that the recent departure of his assistant coach Ray Wilkins is not reason for team's recent defeats.
