Carlo Ancelotti has broken his silence on AC Milan’s awful start to the season.

The Rossoneri legend left the San Siro for Chelsea in the summer, and he has seen his successor struggle with just two wins from the opening seven Serie A matches.

"Let's not turn this into a drama. They're going through a difficult period due to the sale of Kaka but they have what it takes to turn things around, this is just a settling down period," said Ancelotti.

"Leonardo has a difficult task but around him there's a great structure and the club has faith in him and you'll soon see that he'll manage to get his ideas across."
