encouraged him to persuade the sacked
Madrid coach to take over at San Siro
AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi says he is
determined to convince Carlo Ancelotti and Zlatan
Ibrahimovic to return to the club this summer.
The Rossoneri have been vocal in their desire to
bring former boss Ancelotti back to San Siro
following his sacking by Real Madrid.
And Berlusconi claims he has the backing of the
supporters as he attempts to appoint the three-
time Champions League winner in Filippo Inzaghi's
place.
"I hope Carletto comes back to us, we are willing
to invest in him. I hope there is a good chance
he'll be the next coach of Milan," he told Sport
Mediaset.
"Galliani and I are not the only ones who want him
to come back. All Milan fans I've spoken to want
him back."
Ancelotti himself says he intends to take a year
out of the game in order to have surgery on a
small issue in his back.
Berlusconi, however, hopes the operation will not
scupper his plans and admits he is not currently
contemplating any other candidate.
"He needs a small operation and he'll make a
decision afterwards, which also takes into account
his family," he said.
"I don't want to think of another possibility if it
isn't Ancelotti. If he doesn't come then we'll look
at other options."
Berlusconi also admitted he is determined to bring
Ibrahimovic back to the club from French
champions Paris Saint-Germain.
"I'm fixated on his return, although it's a very
difficult thing to make happen, and it will take
patience," he added.
"But he's magnificent on the pitch
