Ancelotti eyes Champions League title

New Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has wasted no time in declaring his aim to win the Champions League for the Blues.

Chelsea have never won this competition and they nearly did it last season in Moscow.But former Blues boss Avram Grant did not deliver the trophy that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich desires the most.

Enter Ancelotti - an Italian who has twice won the Champions League as a player and twice as a manager with the Rossoneri.

The 49-year-old has signed a three-year contract with the Blues just hours after stepping down as AC Milan coach.

Ancelotti announced his arrival as Chelsea boss when he spoke in English on Chelsea TV.

He said: "For me, the Champions League is a beautiful sensation. When I played I won two times, in 1989 and 1990. It was a fantastic moment.

"It was the same when I was a coach in Milan in 2003 and 2007. The Champions League, for me, is the best competition in the world and everyone wants to win.

"Chelsea has a great record, five semi-finals in six years is a beautiful score, but now we have a need to win. I hope!"

The Italian has also stated his blue-print of what he would like to build at Stamford Bridge.

"I like to be close with the players. I like to be close with the company. I like to speak with people. I believe in team-work, it is the most important thing to create a group to work together to build a dream," he said.

"To have a strong organisation, to have a strong discipline, to have the right motivation. I hope to do this together because this is the right way to arrive to success.

"I want to bring my experience, I want to bring my individual quality. To win is important, to work together is the most important thing. To have great motivation, to have a right objective.

"At Chelsea it is easy to find the objective. Win the Champions League, win the Premier League, win the FA Cup, win the Carling Cup.

"Naturally, it is not easy, but the right way is to create a group of people who work well together."

Ancelotti has also admitted learning a new language is also important to him.

"This is my first interview in English and, for me, it is not easy. I want to learn and I want to improve," he admitted.

"When we start the new season I will speak well because it is important for me to speak with the players, the team, the assistant and with all the operators who will work with me."
