Michael Ballack lets slip Chelsea deal for Carlo Ancelotti

Chelsea star Michael Ballack has revealed Chelsea are close to agreeing a deal to make AC Milan's Carlo Ancelotti their new boss.

Speaking to the BBC after the London club's FA Cup victory over Everton, the German midfielder revealed: It's not done yet but it looks like he will be coach.

I haven't worked under him and I don't know him very well but you can see from the work he has done at Milan that he is a successful manager, he added.

Ballack also revealed he will be staying at Stamford bridge after agreeing a one year contract extension with the club.

Although he has yet to sign on the dotted line, the veteran star confirmed an agreement was in place for him to remain with the Blues, saying, I haven't signed yet but I have agreed for another year.
