Chelsea captain John Terry full of support for boss Carlo Ancelotti

Chelsea captain John Terry has pleaded with owner Roman Abramovich to keep Carlo Ancelotti at the club.

As the Blues' season draws to a close with only Champions League football to show for their efforts, rumours on the Italian’s future have been quick to emerge.

But Terry was quoted as saying by The Sun: 'He's got my full support.

'I love Carlo. He won the double in his first year and this season the injuries and releasing players has been tough for him.'

Defeat at Manchester United at the weekend all but destroyed the only remaining hope of a trophy this term for the west London club after they managed to haul themselves back into the title race with a surge of form late in the season.

The January acquisitions of Fernando Torres and David Luiz helped Ancelotti to garner a strong finish to the season, and his captain believes adding more depth to the squad is ultimately what the former AC Milan boss should be allowed to do if he is to get the same opportunity as previous boss Jose Mourinho.

'When Mourinho was here we had a big squad but we miss that. Somewhere in between where we are and what we had would be ideal,' added 30-year-old Terry.

Chelsea entertain Newcastle over the weekend before a trip to Everton on the final day of the season, but know that if Manchester United pick up a single point in either of their remaining two games, the Red Devils will regain the title.
