AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed reports that he met Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich in the summer.

But Ancelotti claims they did not discuss the Chelsea job.

Ancelotti was linked with the Blues, following the departure of Avram Grant at the end of last season.

“It’s true, me and Abramovich met,” Ancelotti told Sky Italia. “He wanted to understand what my philosophy was.

“But it was immediately made clear that I had a contract with Milan and that I wanted to stay at Milan.

“It was an informal talk, and my club knew of the meeting because Galliani is aware of everything.”

Ancelotti has now spent seven years in charge at the San Siro.
