| Chelsea look to Carletto |

Carlo Ancelotti is the latest name to be tipped to take over the Chelsea bench after the dismissal of Luiz Felipe Scolari.
Scolari was relieved of his duties yesterday after a stalemate with Hull City saw the Blues slide to fourth place in the Premier League.
West Ham manager and former Chelsea playing legend Gianfranco Zola is reportedly in the frame to replace Scolari, while ex-Inter tactician Roberto Mancini seems to be out of contention.
But according to The Sun, Milan boss Ancelotti is Chelsea's No 1 target, causing the Rossoneri to line up Dutch Coach Frank Rijkaard as a replacement.
Ancelotti was offered the Chelsea job last summer before Scolari's appointment, but he refused the opportunity to work in England.
However, with the Diavolo lagging behind Inter and trailing Juventus in the Scudetto race, there are suggestions that Carletto may move on.
Rumours state that Milan have already started to line up Rijkaard, who wore the Rossoneri shirt as a player between 1988 and 1993, for the summer but they could speed up the transition should Chelsea lure Ancelotti.
Rijkaard has been without a job since leaving Barcelona in May 2008 after a five-year spell in charge.
