Ancelotti wants EPL Return

The former Chelsea manager admits that he wants
to return to English football but will not take on a
managerial role before the start of next season
Carlo Ancelotti has admitted he would love to return to the
Premier League next season.

The Italian, who was sacked by Real Madrid at the end of
the 2014-15 campaign, spent two years in charge of Chelsea
between 2009 and 2011.

With his former club languishing in 16th place under Jose
Mourinho this term, Ancelotti has been linked with a possible
return to Stamford Bridge.

But while the 56-year-old claimed that he is eyeing a move
back to England, he insisted that he would not take a job this
season.

"I had a fantastic experience in France and Spain," Ancelotti
told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"The most important thing is to start; to find a club with a
good project and be competitive. If it's in England, it's
better.
"I will stay out until the end of the season and try to find
another club next season.

"Not just in England, it can be in another country, but my
idea is not to start now."

Ancelotti, who won the Premier League title with Chelsea in
2010, was also supportive of Mourinho, who he labelled the
"best person" for the job.

The Blues have won just three of their 12 top-flight games
so far this year, but the former Milan and Paris Saint-
Germain coach backed the Portuguese to turn things
around.

"Chelsea are used to competing at the top level. They have
lost a little bit of confidence in their play and arrived at bad
results. Slowly they can move on from this situation.

"Mourinho is the best person to manage this because he is
the one involved, he knows the situation and the condition of
the players and the club took the right decision to stay with
Mourinho."
