Ancelotti is the fourth manager to be introduced to the West London club since Mourinho's departure in September 2007. And it is the legacy the Portuguese coach left behind that Gattuso thinks has over shadowed the efforts of his successors.

"But Carlo can create a bigger legacy than that of Jose - of that I am sure. [LNB]"Carlo is an expert in the Champions League and that is still something Chelsea are missing, even though they have come close.

[LNB]"If there are any attitudes that do not fit with his way of thinking at Chelsea, they will learn very quickly they need to change their attitude. [LNB]"He does it because he knows it is for the good of the team - with Carlo the players are under no doubt who is boss."[LNB]
