Inter coach Jose Mourinho says AC Milan counterpart Carlo Ancelotti will be a success at Chelsea.
"My friends at Chelsea tell me it will be Carlo," he told Sky Italia.
"Some players are asking me the typical question: 'Gaffer, will he be good for us, do you think it will be positive?'
"I responded that he seems to me to be a very well prepared coach, very close to his players who can create an atmosphere of great empathy with his players and if he adapts well to Chelsea, he has a group of players who are waiting for a good coach in order to win because it is a squad that wants to win."
Mourinho, who left Chelsea in 2007 after three years at the helm, believes Ancelotti should jump at the chance.
He added: "If Carlo goes or not it is his problem and if he goes to Chelsea, I will wish him all the best.
"And if he asks my opinion, I will tell him that with these players and with this club, he should not think too much because it is a great adventure for him."
