Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has dismissed rumours he is set to quit the club after the team’s string of poor performances. The West London club have lost three of their last four Premier League matches, including their worst home defeat since 2002 and have not suffered consecutive defeats since the 2005-06 season. Ancelotti even admitted after the Birmingham match he was not in complete control of the club. In a press conference on Monday however, he rubbished suggestions he is going to quit the side. He said, "I don't know if it's enough to clarify my position to close these rumours and speculation. These rumours are totally untrue. I don't know why they came out." The Italian also quashed reports he had contacted the League Managers’ Association [LMA] about resigning. "I didn't speak with the LMA," he added. "They called me [on Sunday night] when I was at home, quiet, to find out what was happening. "These rumours are totally untrue. I have my contract until 2012, here, in this club. I've said a lot of times that I'd like to stay here." During the club’s run of poor form, assistant coach Ray Wilkins, who Ancelotti had praised glowingly in his autobiography, was sacked. Many senior players decried the situation and there were implication a civil war was raging at Stamford Bridge. Ancelotti has rejected these suggestions. He said: "I love not just this club, but these players. I have a lot of confidence in these players, in this squad, so there's no reason to change my ideas." The 51-year-old admitted the losses were hurting the team, but he believes this is merely the lot of a coach. "I think that when the team don't reach the right results, obviously the coach is under pressure," he added. "Obviously I am under pressure because I'd like Chelsea to win every game, but just this. "I am the coach and I have to train my players to maintain the team, the club, at the best level. Now, this moment is not so good on the pitch and we have to do better there. "Obviously I understand very well because I had a lot of occasions like this in my career. The coach is in trouble when the team doesn't produce results, but this is my life. I like my life. "I'm not disappointed about this. I'm disappointed because Chelsea have lost three in four games, and this is not good: for me, the players, the club, for my job. We want to do better there."
