Rumours continue to circulate that Carlo Ancelotti could be on his way to Chelsea during the summer, but the 33-year-old believes that 'Carletto' will remain with the Rossoneri.
"When I arrived at Milanello, Ancelotti was already studying English. Every time I try to fix his English, he insists on making errors and we end up laughing. I can't tell you anything about Chelsea."
Meanwhile, the former Manchester United player has had his own difficulties learning the Italian language.
"I admit I haven't made much progress," he revealed. "I can only say 'congratulations' to the referee or 'good goal' to Pippo [Inzaghi]. [Paolo] Maldini speaks English and there is also [Gennaro] Gattuso, who speaks a language of his own, but I understand him perfectly."
