Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti says that he would be the last to know if the club plan to replace him with Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, as he shrugged off talk over his future.Carlo Ancelotti saw his men stutter against Newcastle on Sunday.Chelsea Blue Long sleeve F. Club Shit + Short The Blues have claimed that speculation over the Italian's future is "total nonsense" but the latest rumours have linked them with Guardiola. Ancelotti, though, was bullish when quizzed over his commitment to Stamford Bridge."You don't have to ask me," he said. "Usually the coach is the last that know this rumour. Don't ask me. But I know Pep Guardiola."Chelsea have parted company with assistant Ray Wilkins and will also cut their ties with sporting director Frank Arnesen next year, with talk linking former Barca sporting director Txiki Begiristain with the post.
