New coach Carlo Ancelotti wants to deliver success early in his reign at Chelsea to ensure he is not left facing questions over his future by the end of the first season.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has spent the past year hoping he would one day have the highly-respected Italian at the Stamford Bridge helm, but now that he has arrived Ancelotti realises there is little room for sentiment as he plots a route to help the London outfit take a hold on English and European football.

He is the fifth manager in two years at Chelsea, since Jose Mourinho left the club in 2007, yet Ancelotti is looking forward to his first job outside ofhis homeland of Italy.

"I don't want to do comparisons to other coaches," he said. “I have respect for them all and I want to do this my way. Only my way. Chelsea have been in five of the past six Champions League semifinals and are a great team. I don't know how long I will be here, hopefully a long time. I came from a team where I remained for eight years and I want to be here as longas possible.

"I will put all of my energy into it and I think I will have to win something quickly. Chelsea have the right qualities for me to do so. Chelsea have arrived close in recent seasons and we have to make a little step to win."

Previously Ancelotti has managed Reggiana,

Parma, Juventus and Milan, and must now quickly adapt to English football.

"Regaining the Premier League title, which Chelsea have not won since 2006, is high on his agenda, but Ancelotti also has expectations in the Champions League, which his new side have never won.

"If the team has good teamwork then we can win," he explained. "There are great teams in England and it is difficult to win the championship but Chelsea can win the league and the Champions League.

"I would like to win the Champions League. It is a great competition and Chelsea have come very close. In 2008, I remember that. The Champions League is very difficult to win because of many factors but Chelsea have more possibilities than other teams."

During his first press conference at Stamford Bridge Ancelotti managed to get across his personality. He made several jokes and seems to be coming to terms with the language, although he has already admitted he is finding it difficult to grasp.

He admitted his players can expect their new boss to show his humorous side occasionally in training, but nothing will stand in the way of his task of claiming silverware.

"I'm happy and excited to start because I love my work," Ancelotti said. "I like to joke and show that I enjoy my job and 1 have spoken to Gianluca Vialli who spoke very well for this club. Roman wants to have a great team here and I think at the start of the season we will have a competitive side."
