Carlo Ancelotti has laughed off a fan protest calling for him to be sacked as Chelsea manager, insisting such demonstrations were much worse in Italy.
Ancelotti and his players arrived at their Cobham base this morning to find a pair of banners draped opposite the entrance which read: "Ancelotti + Abramovich out!!!" and "None of you are fit to wear the shirt".
The signs, presumably the handiwork of a Chelsea supporter disgruntled at the club's worst Barclays Premier League slump for almost 15 years, were later removed.
#SupportCarlo...He WILL save us.
Abramovich will save Chelsea. Not Carlo...
