Ancelotti open to EPL return

Former Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti said he is keen to take the reins at a Premier League club again when he returns to coaching.

The 52-year-old was sacked by the London side in May 2011 and consequently decided to take a one-year break from football.

He has since been linked with clubs such as Roma and Paris Saint-Germain, but the Italian tactician has set his sights on a return to the English top flight instead.

“The Premier League is an ideal place to work for a coach, and I’d really like to work there again,” Ancelotti told La Repubblica.

“Arsene Wenger’s position at Arsenal is currently under fire and there will a vacancy somewhere when Fabio Capello leaves the England post.”

“Clubs like Arsenal and Tottenham are top clubs which I would take into consideration, but I’m in no rush to make a comeback.”

Ancelotti started his coaching career at Reggiana and has since been in charge of clubs such as Parma, Juventus and AC Milan.
