CHELSEA players fear Carlo Ancelotti has decided to quit the club.
First-team stars are worried the manager will walk out at the end of the season - disillusioned with life at Stamford Bridge.They believe he is still unhappy about the dismissal of No 2 Ray Wilkins and is worried by splits in the camp.
They also suspect he despairs of the Blues' internal politics and power structure. One insider revealed: "The atmosphere isn't good at the moment.
"Everyone is convinced Carlo has had enough, though absolutely everyone is desperate for him to stay.
"He's very, very popular with the players, who believe that he is an excellent manager.
"But there's no doubt the squad itself is unsettled and cliques are starting to form."
I understand resentment is starting to surround the French-speaking players, who are allegedly blaming other team-mates for the club's indifferent Premier League form.
Ancelotti, appointed 18 months ago, won the Prem and FA Cup last season and claimed he wanted to stay another 10 years. Few would bet on that now.
Chelsea have taken six points from the last 21.
When approached last night, Chelsea chose not to respond to our story.
