A source close to Chelsea has revealed that Carlo Ancelotti played a major role in securing John Terry's stay at the club.

Although no official announcement has been made yet, Terry is expected to commit his future to the Blues in the near future.

According to The Sun, it was Ancelotti who was determined to keep Terry at the club. They quote a 'source close to Ancelotti' as saying, "No one asked Carlo to get involved in the Terry situation but he wanted to find out what was in the player's heart."

He then revealed that Terry had had a meeting with Ancelotti during their first training session, continuing, "That meeting was very important as it made Carlo go back to the directors and ask what the solutions were.

"At that point, though, the club did not seem willing to make the first move so Carlo decided to get more information before going any further."

According to the source, Ancelotti then asked the squad what the impact of Terry leaving would be, and having learned of the huge damage to morale it would cause, he instructed the board to make sure their captain stayed at the club
