The Italian coach, who still has a remaining contract for 14 months at Chelsea, admitted that he was not afraid of the consequences of firing him after eliminated Chelsea in the Champions League quarter-finals after defeat by Manchester United on aggregate 3-1.
"I do not feel worried," said Ancelotti as reported by the Guardian. "I had to work and try to do my best. It's not my decision whether it was going to stay here or not. I have not talked to Roman," he added.
Ancelotti also admitted that he probably made a mistake by lowering Fernando Torres in the second leg. Spanish striker, who has spent 693 minutes without a goal for Chelsea, is really not effective and then be replaced during the break.
"Maybe I made a mistake with her down in the first round, but I've considered it quite a while before taking a decision," said Ancelotti.
"I prefer to start the match with Fernando lowered to match like this, with tactics that have been applied. Even so, Didier played very well in the second half,"he concluded.
