Carlo Ancelotti eyes Premier League return

Carlo Ancelotti says he would like to return to England’s Premier League but the Italian manager, with one of the most garlanded records in world football, is not interested in taking any new job this season.

Ancelotti, who won the Premier League-FA Cup double with Chelsea during his previous stint in English football, has had his name linked with a possible return to Stamford Bridge following the London club’s early season woes under Jose Mourinho. Yet talking to BBC Radio yesterady, Ancelotti ruled out the prospect of any return to the game in 2014-15, effectively ruling out the possibility that he would take over this season should Mourinho’s increasingly shaky reign come to an end.

Ancelotti, who has also been touted as a possible successor to Manchester City’s Manuel Pellegrini, said the Premier League was his “number one choice” for a return to the game.
