Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti is delighted that John Terry has finally ended speculation about his future by confirming that he will be staying at Stamford Bridge.

Manchester City had been keen to sign the defender this summer but Terry, after remaining silent on the matter for several weeks, finally confirmed his plans before the club's 2-0 win over Club America in the World Football Challenge on Sunday.

Former AC Milan boss Ancelotti said of Terry's decision: "For sure I'm happy, but it's not only me. He is happy, too, as are the club and the fans because he is very important for the team.

"I was sure he'd stay. I know John Terry, I know his professionalism and I always believed that his future was with the club.

"I think we are working very well at the start of this pre-season. The players are improving in confidence as they play, and we played very well.

"But we still have to improve, as this is only the beginning. Now, we will arrive at tougher matches, but I think that we are ready to play."
