Carlo Ancelotti will not join Chelsea

Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti has again refuted reports linking him with the Chelsea job, which Guus Hiddink still insists he will vacate in the summer.

When asked if he had heard the latest reports, the coach replied: “That’s news to me. All I can say is that my relationship with the club is still the same after seven years”, Eurosport.com reported.

One candidate that the Italian sport press are talking up is Leonardo, who is currently working at the club as a scout. “I am not a candidate and am happy with the position I occupy,” he smouldered. “I have a great relationship with Carlo and I hope he succeeds in qualifying for the Champions League and wins the UEFA Cup. I am sorry to hear the rumours which are circulating at present.”
