Chelsea Star Didier Drogba: There's No One Like Carlo Ancelotti
The Ivorian says that ‘Carletto’ is one of a kind and has brought smiles and enthusiasm to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has heaped praise on boss Carlo Ancelotti after the Italian guided the Blues to an impressive 3-0 win over Arsenal in the London derby on Sunday.
Drogba netted a brace at the Emirates to help Chelsea maintain a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League and the 31-year-old has revealed the secret behind Ancelotti’s immediate success in his maiden season in England.
“Ancelotti is the best coach in the world,” Drogba told the Corriere dello Sport.
“He arrived at a new place with players he didn’t know and a staff that wasn’t his own. Despite all this, he settled in quickly. He is a winner.
“I love the way he manages the team, the calmness he can convey to us. We work a lot under him, but with a smile on our faces as he can be funny too, both in training and in the dressing room where a nice atmosphere has developed.”
