Ancelotti claims he is “fortunate” to stay boss

With recent good form from his Chelsea side, they have won 3 league games in a row, Ancelotti admits his position was looking untenable during the Blues winter slump, adding:

“I know very well that this team slept for two months and, in that moment, I had fantastic support from the team.

A lot of coaches that sleep for two months, at this moment, are at home watching the game on television. I am here. Fortunately.”

Chelsea sit in 3rd place, 9 points behind leaders United, although they have a game in hand, and a tie at Old Trafford to come.
