Carlo Ancelotti today insisted he expects to stay at Chelsea until at least the end of next season.
It was reported yesterday that the squad fear the coach has decided to quit in the summer having grown fed up with life at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have slumped to fourth in the table after just one win in their last seven Premier League games.
Ancelotti's assistant, Ray Wilkins, was fired last month and there has been talk of the dressing room starting to split into cliques.
The Italian's contract has 18 months to run and he is adamant he is not thinking of walking away.
Ancelotti said: "Will I stay until 2012? At the moment at least until 2012. Have I spoken with Roman Abramovich over a new deal? Not yet. Now is the time to reshape Chelsea in the League and I can assure the team is better compared to what it was some time ago.
"What is our problem? Injuries. Replacing Alex, John Terry, Michael Essien, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba was not easy. Trouble in the dressing room? I'd say there isn't any and the relationships are good."
Meanwhile, Ramires has no regrets about moving to the club despite struggling to make an impact. The Brazil midfielder, an £18.3million summer signing from Benfica, said: "I feel better all the time and I am more adapted than I was before."
