Ancelotti am not going to Milan

Carlo Ancelotti has ruled out a return to AC Milan
and claims he will take a year off if Real Madrid
choose to force him out after a below-par season.
The Blancos thumped Getafe 7-3 in their final La
Liga game of the season on Saturday during which
the coach was vocally supported at the Santiago
Bernabeu, and he received a standing ovation from
the home crowd.
Ancelotti is expected to be sacked in the coming
days after falling short in La Liga, Champions
League and Copa del Rey this season.
Napoli boss Rafael Benitez is the favourite to
replace him, while Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi
had earlier said he would bring the Italian back to
San Siro if he was sacked from his coaching role
at the Bernabeu.
“My future is clear: I am staying at Real Madrid or
I will take a year off,” Ancelotti told reporters after
the match.
“If the club tells me I'm not wanted, I won't be
happy. But sackings are commonplace in my line
of work.
"There is no hurry to sort anything. The club are
considering what to do and I'm not in a hurry to
leave. I have had no communication from the club
yet. I will know my fate on Monday or Tuesday.”
Ancelotti said he was pleased to see Iker Casillas
also receive a positive reception from the home
supporters and thanked his players for their efforts
in what proved to be an up-and-down 2014-15
campaign.
"The fans have understood how important Iker has
been for this club this season,” said the coach.
“Better late than never."
"The players have shown professionalism and a
serious attitude until the last game and the last
minute of the season.
“We had injuries to several important players and
we suffered in that period. I do not forget
everything we achieved last year, but nor will I
forget what needs to be improved upon."
Madrid ended the season with 92 points from their
38 matches in La Liga, two adrift of champions
Barcelona.
