ANCELOTTI: ON CHELSEA'S BENCH FOR A LONG TIME


Ancelotti hopes to be Chelsea's coach for a long time, like Wenger and Ferguson.

"My goal is to maintain this bench for a long time and I can do it if I do a good job and the company will be happy with the work I am doing. So far I think the club is satisfied but I want to improve, if possible, to remain at the top of Premier League and to do well in Champions League. But tomorrow, there is an important test: the Arsenal of Arsene Wenger. He is one of the best coaches in the world and has done a fantastic job as Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. I desire to stay at Chelsea for a long period. I'm a young coach, and even for an experienced Italian is hard to think of staying in the same club for more than five years at Milan I stayed for eight, almost a record. In England, however, it is easier to stay on the same bench for so long. I think that Chelsea is like a family."
