Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri admits Roman Abramovich may already
have made up his mind to change his coach in the summer.
The Italian has been placed under a ridiculous amount of pressure this
term, after spending so much of his wealthy owner's personal fortune to
transform his team, but seemingly failing to sustain a title challenge or
FA Cup run.
The Blues are, of course, still in the biggest competition of all -
the UEFA Champions League - but Ranieri knows he could be living on
borrowed time at Stamford Bridge.
"Another coach in my place?" he told Corriere dello Sport. "The matter
is simple.
"If he (Abramovich) has decided to change the coach at the end of the
season, I surely can't change his mind.
"As for myself, I can only say that I'll continue working as I have to
take the right to see out my contract.
"The signals I have had are different - I've had a blank sheet."
Ranieri is clearly hoping it is not a fait accompli and he will be
handed the opportunity to buy another two players to add to his squad in
the summer as another major upheaval is not planned by 'The Tinkerman'.
He never says 'no' to my requests," he added. "He never say
player costs too much.
"He arrived at Chelsea saying: 'Let's build, let's work and then let's
win'.
"Last summer, we bought about ten players so we made a big revolution.
Next season we would only have to define the building we have done with
about two signings."
Abramovich is a hands-on boss but at least appears to have been honest
with his affable coach.
"When he arrived last summer, I told Abramovich: 'If you want, I will
leave'," Ranieri admitted.
"He answered me, saying: 'I believe in you'. I don't know if he said it
out of conviction or necessity because he hadn't been able to find a coach
to put in my place.
"As far as I know, he hasn't changed ideas. To build a big Chelsea,
there is a lot to do and he gave me the possibility of a free hand. It is
me who talks with the people who are building our new headquarters.
"When Abramovich comes, he sees the training sessions. Friday afternoon
, for example, before the match with Arsenal, he was there.
"He's close to us in a positive way.
"After the defeat? Surely, he would have preferred winning, but he liked
the match. In fact, he told us he found it absolutely interesting."
