Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that he “would have no problem” returning to Chelsea, although he thinks the chances of that happening are remote because his former club will not be sacking their current manager José Mourinho.
The defending champions are now 16th on the league table with just 11 points from 12 games this season.
Mourinho has been critical of several Chelsea players as his side have struggled this season, with Eden Hazard, Nemanja Matic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek in particular being singled out for harsh treatment, a strategy that Luis believes is undermining their confidence. He’s already returned to Chelsea, so maybe next is Internazionale, and then back to Real Madrid… and then back to Chelsea!

His plans have not changed, but clubs in Italy may be disappointed with the news Ancelotti favours returning to the Premier League, where he bossed Chelsea between 2009 and 2011, if possible.

Fabregas’ next outing for Spain will be on Tuesday, when they face an away trip to Belgium for their second global friendly in five days. “The striker is the most important player on the pitch”, said Fabregas. In the end it was no longer good, most of the fans weren’t happy.
