LONDON // Andriy Shevchenko will leave Chelsea by the end of the month because the London side cannot guarantee him regular first-team football, the Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti has said.
The Ukraine striker and former European footballer of the year, who turns 33 tomorrow, has been linked with a return to former club Dynamo Kiev but no deal had been struck with any club yet, Ancelotti said.
"Shevchenko will decide to go play for another team," said Ancelotti, who coached the Ukrainian last season at AC Milan where the striker was on loan from Chelsea.
"I spoke with Shevchenko and he would like to play with continuity here," Ancelotti said after training for Saturday's Premier League fixture with Burnley. "For me it is difficult to give him this possibility and I think that he has taken the right decision."
Shevchenko, who joined Chelsea from AC Milan for £30 million (Dh179.4m) in 2006 in a deal smoothed by Chelsea's Russian owner Roman Abramovich, never settled well at the London club.
The striker is one of the highest scorers in the Champions League and would like to add to his tally. He was in danger of being left out of Chelsea's Champions League squad which Ancelotti must name on Tuesday but the Italian coach said that had nothing to do with Shevchenko's decision.

Farage on Muslim Brotherhood
Nigel Farage told Reform's annual conference that the party will proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood if he becomes Prime Minister.
"We will stop dangerous organisations with links to terrorism operating in our country," he said. "Quite why we've been so gutless about this – both Labour and Conservative – I don't know.
“All across the Middle East, countries have banned and proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood as a dangerous organisation. We will do the very same.”
It is 10 years since a ground-breaking report into the Muslim Brotherhood by Sir John Jenkins.
Among the former diplomat's findings was an assessment that “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” has “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
The prime minister at the time, David Cameron, who commissioned the report, said membership or association with the Muslim Brotherhood was a "possible indicator of extremism" but it would not be banned.
