FORMER REAL MADRID and Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has ruled out a move to Liverpool – 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: “I enjoy my time now but of course I want to come back to manage – to work – because it is my passion.
