'I'll be back next season' - Ancelotti out of the running for Liverpool job

The former Real Madrid coach is planning time away from management for the rest of the season as Jurgen Klopp edges closer to Anfield.

FORMER REAL MADRID and Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has ruled out a move to Liverpool โ€“ but says he intends to return to management next season.

Ancelotti had been touted as a possible replacement for Brendan Rodgers at Anfield, but frontrunner Jurgen Klopp looks likely to pen a three-year-deal with the club.

The 56-year-old, who has been out of work since his sacking from the Bernabeu at the end of the 2014-15 season, claims he is happy to take a season out of the spotlight before taking on a new role.

He told the Associated Press at the Inspiring Leaders Awards on Tuesday night: โ€œI enjoy my time now but of course I want to come back to manage โ€“ to work โ€“ because it is my passion.

โ€œI want to take my time to rest, but next season I am ready.โ€

    @Red Rooster: or show ambition and get a big move, playing under pressure week in week out and thriving.

    @Red Rooster: I hope they can afford to keep for at least a season if not two before they sell him, but thereโ€™s no way theyโ€™ll keep him for 5 years if he kicks on this season.

    @David: r go to a big club get sweet f all mins. Thing donโ€™t go right. Fickle fans on his back. Heโ€™s 18 and miles off a top club regular. Amazing talent and prospect but donโ€™t get the Irish blinkers on heโ€™s no where near ready for leading the line for a top side.

    Ridiculous the amount of hype around Evan, heโ€™s had one season in the Prem and not even starting for Brighton. Wait till he nails down his place and starts scoring double figure goals before heโ€™s called a replacement for Harry Kane.
