  Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack has agreed a one-year contract extension and expects AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti to arrive at Stamford Bridge.

  

  Speaking after Chelsea's FA Cup final win over Everton, Ballack told BBC Sport: "I haven't signed yet but I have agreed for another year."

  Ancelotti is the favourite to succeed Guus Hiddink, who stepped down after his side's Wembley victory.

  Ballack, 32, added: "It's not done yet but it looks like he will be coach."
