Carlo: FA should consider foreigners
Carlo Ancelotti believes the Football Association should not rule out going foreign again when they choose a successor for Fabio Capello.[LNB] The FA have indicated that they would prefer an Englishman in charge when Capello steps down after the European Championships in 2012.[LNB]But Chelsea's Italian boss Ancelotti said: "It could be English, it could be a foreign manager, it is the decision of FA. I don't think it has to be necessarily English. There are a lot of coaches with good qualities, not just English.[LNB]"For a long time the England team has had a foreign manager, they were unlucky also. (Sven-Goran) Eriksson was not lucky."[LNB]In the wake of the headlines surrounding Wayne Rooney, Ancelotti also insisted that the private lives of footballers should be respected.[LNB]Chelsea have had their fair share of negative publicity surrounding players such as John Terry and Ashley Cole.[LNB]Ancelotti, speaking on BBC 5 Live's Sportsweek programme, said: "My philosophy is that I don't want to control the private lives of my players.[LNB]"My players have to know that they have to respect the shirt also when they are outside of the training ground, outside of the pitch, but I am not able to control the private lives of my players and I don't want to judge anybody because everyone can do everything.[LNB]"A lot of kids are looking at the behaviour of the players so they have more responsibility and they have to know this, but as a manager I don't want to control.[LNB]"If my player wants to stay outside, go to bed at 12 o'clock or eight o'clock - I'm not interested."[LNB]Ancelotti added: "The private life has to stay the private life - I wouldn't like it if people judged my private life - only one person can judge your private life and I think that is God."[LNB]The 51-year-old Chelsea boss, who won the domestic double in his first season in charge, also maintained he wanted to stay at Stamford Bridge for decades to come.[LNB]"I don't know when I will finish my career," he said.[LNB]"When I started my career in 1995 I said five years is enough so my idea was to close my career in 2000.[LNB]"Now it is 2010 and I have to say I love this job, I'd love to stay here at Chelsea and I would like to stay here.[LNB]"I would be happy to stay as long as (Sir Alex) Ferguson at Manchester United."
