Ancelotti Wanted In Milan

Amid recent reports claiming that Carlo Ancelotti wants to leave the Rossoneri when his current contract expires in 2010, the club’s vice president Adriano Galliani has discussed the situation concerning his club’s coach.

Ancelotti has made it clear that he has a desire to coach an African nation to a World Cup, and he has singled out the Ivory Coast as his preferred destination.

In reference to this, Galliani believes that, “I do not think Carlo’s dream of doing this will just go away, as I feel that he has a strong wish to make history with an African nation in the future.

“My dream however, is to keep Ancelotti in Milan for many years,” he added.

“If we did not separate after the events that occurred in Istanbul in 2005, then I don’t see how anything can get in our way now.

“Having said this though, if Ancelotti wants to leave, then we are going to have to respect his decision, and commence searching for a successor to coach the club in the future.

“We have obviously not made any decisions on anybody as of yet, however we do have some in mind, including Galli, Tassotti, Rjikaard, Gullit and Van Basten, just to name a few,” he concluded.

Rumours concerning the future of Ancelotti at Milan will continue to emerge over the coming months; however one can be certain that the Rossoneri will not let go without a fight.
