Carlo Ancelotti from AC MIlan to Chelsea

Carlo Ancelotti took a step closer to becoming Chelsea's new manager after he announced his contract at AC Milan has been terminated by mutual consent.
Carlo Ancelotti said: "I have agreed to leave Milan. The decision was by mutual consent. But a move to London is not certain yet. In agreement with the club, we have decided to bring forward the expiry of my contract. This beautiful adventure at Milan is over. I can't say anything else official. I have not made any agreement with any other club. I am certainly not staying in Italy. I am open to anything. It's obvious I would say yes if you ask me if I would love to coach Chelsea."

Javier Mascherano - Thanks to West Ham

Javier Mascherano does not regret his ill-fated spell at Upton Park.

"I feel I still have a lot to thank West Ham for," said the midfielder ahead of Wednesday's clash with AC Milan.

"They opened the door for me to come and play in Europe, and I will always be grateful to them for that. If it wasn't for West Ham, I wouldn't be enjoying this special moment with Liverpool now. Rafa Benítez has been crucial to my resurgence this season. Crucial. I was just languishing at West Ham, but he showed faith in me by bringing me here. He's given me back belief in myself by giving me plenty of opportunities to play. He has had a great influence on me already because I am part of a team on the cusp of winning the European Cup."
