Chelsea legend Frank Lampard sent a message to Blues fans about Antonio Conte.
Conte has experienced a mixed start to the new campaign for Chelsea, having struggled to find the form that helped the Blues win the Premier League last season.
Despite his brilliant start to his Chelsea career, Conte has struggled to match the performance of last season in all aspect.
Former Chelsea midfielder Lampard insists that he is fully behind the Blues boss and says that he had a right to express his anger at talk of Ancelotti being linked with his job.
Lampard wrote in his column for the Evening Standard: “As a player, I would be happy with the idea of Conte defending himself and the team as a whole. I would appreciate him nipping it in the bud.
“You have to react at certain times. If you always keep your mouth shut, maybe you’re letting things run away that you shouldn’t do. Of course, the pressure is not new to him.
“All the talk over Conte’s position is premature. Obviously, some of the stuff being said stems from the fact that Chelsea has a history of changing managers – so the moment there is any mention of discourse, then people will start to think it’s the same old story.
“I think Chelsea fans have become slightly immune to it all and so it comes just back to what is happening on the pitch.”
The Premier League Champions will be up against Manchester United at the Stamford Bridge on Saturday for their next Premier League game.
