'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€

    NAMA got a bigger offer, so what is the issue? They are (allegedly) there to get the best price for the properties they have on their books. So Dublin GAA should have gone higher?

    I donโ€™t think Dublin need another training complex (although the GAA would have like a smaller stadium in Dublin) but building ANOTHER hotel is a ridiculous idea.

    So NAMA recieved a higher offer did they for this Complex. I would double check that. Especially with those gangsters and their dealings.

    If it was the FAI or the IRFU you can be sure that a way would be found to accommodate them.
