The former Chelsea manager was sacked by Real Madrid over the summer and he even said last week that he would wait until the end of the season to look at his options.
Ancelotti has been on a “vacation” since, and has stated his desire to return to England if the opportunity presents itself.
“The holidays will continue at least until the end of the year”.
“I would go back to the Premier League”, he added. Where they call me. I will talk, evaluate and then decide. Until a few weeks ago I was terrified that someone calls, but now I want to return.
Unless something unusual happens, I’ll be ready to get back in the saddle in January.
Ancelotti who was linked to the Liverpool job before Jurgen Klopp’s appointment says he would love to have another premier league appearance before retirement. It’s the ideal environment. “It’s hard work, but with the right pressure and the necessary detachment, you can do it in a calm manner”.
Having won the Premier League title with Chelsea in 2010, Ancelotti could potentially be lined up to replace struggling Jose Mourinho at the helm at Stamford Bridge.
As per the aforementioned source, Ancelotti’s comments have cranked up the heat on Mourinho. However, the 3-0 win over Manchester United during the most recent gameweek has allowed the Frenchman a grace period.
Asked who would be picking up trophies this year, Ancelotti continued: “Manchester City in England, as they are the strongest squad and have exceptional quality”.
