CARLO ANCELOTTI is odds-on to have left Chelsea by the first day of next season and Jose Mourinho has been backed to take over when the Italian departs Stamford Bridge.

Hills have slashed the odds on Mourinho returning to Chelsea with the Special One now 4-1 second favourite behind Guus Hiddink having started Monday as an 8-1 shot.

"Bitter experience has taught us to react quickly to unexpected betting moves in these manager markets," said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Ancelotti is 8-11 to head through the Stamford Bridge exits before the 2011-12 campaign begins and evens to still be in charge. Hiddink is 2-1 favourite to replace the former Milan boss.
