[The most fearful boss] Ancelotti talked about coaching Chelsea in his personal autobiography "The Dream-Winning the Champions League". He admitted that no one can compare to Abu's "pressure" that follows him like a shadow. When coaching, he always feels that the coaching position is at any time.
Ancelotti coached Chelsea from 2009 to 2011, and led the team to win the Premier League and FA Cup doubles in his first season, but was fired by his boss Abraham in the subsequent season.
Ancelotti: "Abramovich told me clearly that he hoped that I would lead Chelsea to win the Champions League and allow Chelsea to form his own identity on the court. But at that time I worked for a Russian oligarch, and I quickly understood that his expectation was: Everything must always go smoothly. If something goes wrong, he needs to know why. And my duty is to give the answer."
After Chelsea unexpectedly lost to Wigan Athletic 1-3, Ancelotti first realized how "handsome" and harsh Abramog was: "At that moment, I felt the shadows shrouded my coaching time for the first time."
"The next morning, Abra appeared at the training base and asked what went wrong. I never felt this level of 'surveillance' from Berlusconi. Of course, he was also very harsh, sometimes buying some players I didn't need, and asked me to arrange them into the roster or argue with me about tactics. But after all, he is the Italian Prime Minister most of the time and has no time to intervene. He has more important things to think about."
Ancelotti also revealed that when his ex-boyfriend Mourinho, who was fired by Abram, led Inter to eliminate Chelsea 3-1 in the Champions League, Abram was furious.
"The next day, Abu not only talked to me, but also talked to the entire team. The problem is that Mourinho's victory made me in a bad situation. I should have been Mourinho's 'anti-drug' - calm and rational, and could revive the team after a dramatic storm. But in Abu's opinion, Mourinho should have been an 'out-of-age character'. As a result, he disrupted the script, which made my boss lose all face.
Abu's only criterion for judging my success or failure is the Champions League. In the end of the Champions League, I lost the position of coach."
Ancelotti was dismissed at the end of the 2011 season. In the months leading up to that, he angered Abbe for replacing Torres in the middle of the second half of the Champions League defeat.
Ancelotti recalled: "Torres was Abu's personal decision, and I replaced him, which was equivalent to slapping the boss in the face. At that moment, I forgot that in the world of football, you will never be able to defeat the boss."
