Baresi: Carletto has Euro pedigree
Saturday 13 June, 2009

Milan legend Franco Baresi is confident Carlo Ancelotti is the man Chelsea were waiting for to win the Champions League.

The European trophy is the one that Roman Abramovich is yet to capture, but Ancelotti has already won it twice as a Coach in 2003 and 2007.

“Ancelotti is one of the best managers in the world. He achieved everything he could with AC Milan. He knows how it works,” said youth team chief Baresi.

"He sees in England he can achieve top awards. He probably went to Chelsea because he knows what it is like to win the Champions League.

"He has a self-belief which he can transmit to the players. And he has an enthusiasm too. With that formula, Chelsea can win the Champions League.”

Baresi was talking to The Sun at Birmingham's Grass Roots event in Birmingham as he presented the new AC Milan kids' camp in the UK.
