Petr Cech says Carlo Ancelotti is the right managerial appointment at Chelsea.
"If you look at Ancelotti's record you would say that we cannot make any mistake appointing this manager," Cech told the Mirror. "For me, he is the right man for the club. Hopefully he will be successful and he will stay for at least seven years which would be good."
Chelsea have had a quick succession of managers, with Luiz Felipe Scolari and Avram Grant coming and going swiftly after the departure of Jose Mourinho. Cech wants Ancelotti to be allowed to build for the long-term.
"It's always better if you have one manager for a long period because then you can build the team," he said. "In football you always have two or three changes in the team every summer and it changes the atmosphere and the life among the group. So the ideal scenario is to have the same manager for five or six years but in football it is hard to get that."
