The popular Italian was another victim of the second season syndrome at Chelsea FC, with Roman Abramovich refusing to show any patience with him after failing to pick up any trophies in his second season in charge of the club.

With a 61.5% win ratio, Carlo Ancelotti guided Chelsea to the double in his first season, winning the Premier League and the FA Cup for the first time ever in a fantastic campaign that saw the Blues play some of their best football.

Chelsea was free-flowing and attacking, scoring a record-breaking 103 goals in the league, which has only been recently topped by Manchester City. Chelsea scored more than seven goals in a game on four occasions, including an emphatic 8-0 win over Wigan Athletic.

Unfortunately, a poor second season that saw Chelsea gain just 71 points in the league brought an end to his time in charge, a lot earlier than many fans would have liked.
