Carlo Ancelotti has turned down the chance to return to Milan, telling the club he needs rest after two years at Real Madrid.
The
Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani said last week the Rossoneri had
reached out to the 55-year-old about a return to the San Siro after his
Madrid spell came to an end.
But Ancelotti,
writing on Twitter, said he had declined the opportunity: “Thanks to
@acmilan for their support interest. It was hard to say no to such
beloved club to me but I need some rest. I wish them the best.”
Ancelotti
left Real Madrid after a trophyless season and declared he would take a
year off from coaching. He is one of the most successful coaches in
Milan’s history, having led them to the Serie A title in 2004 and two
Champions League crowns before he left in 2009 to join Chelsea after
eight years in the job.
The Italian, who led Real to a 10th
European Cup title in June 2014 but failed to win the league in his two
seasons in Madrid, is planning to have back surgery in Canada this
summer.
Milan missed out on European football as they limped to
10th place in Serie A under Filippo Inzaghi, whose contract runs to June
2016.
