| Robert Pires has urged Chelsea to appoint Carlo Ancelotti as Jose Mourinho's successor |
CHELSEA have been urged to choose Carlo Ancelotti as Jose Mourinho’s successor by Robert Pries.
Mourinho was dismissed yesterday by Blues owner Roman Abramovich following a terrible start to the season.
The defending champions are one point above the relegation zone after losing nine of their first 16 Premier League matches this season.
And former Arsenal midfielder Pires believes Ancelotti, who won the title with Chelsea in 2009-10, would be a good appointment.
"It's difficult because you don't have a free manager, maybe only one – Carlo Ancelotti," Pires told Omnisport.
"If Abramovich chose Ancelotti, it's a good opportunity."
Despite Mourinho’s dreadful campaign, Pires is adamant the Portuguese is still one of world’s best managers.
"It was very difficult for Jose Mourinho because he started very bad. I don't understand it because it's the same team, same players, same manager – maybe they changed their spirit a little," he added.
