Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has insisted that he will not be interested in returning to Italy to replace Marcello Lippi.
Ancelotti and England boss Fabio Capello are believed to be at the top Italian FA's shortlist for a replacement after next year's World Cup.
Lippi is due to take up an administrative position at Juventus after the Azzuri defend their trophy in South Africa, but Ancelotti has no intention of leaving England after taking over at Stamford Bridge this summer.
"I'm fine here in London," said Ancelotti.
"I have a three-year contract and I love everything about the club, their fans and English football.
"And the results, also, aren't bad," added the Italian, who has made a smooth transition from AC Milan to the top of English football.
"In the Premier League we've won 10 out of 12, three out of four in the Champions League," he said.
Outside of football, Ancelotti appears content with life in England: "Even at the dining table I haven't had any problems.
"I am captivated by English cuisine and especially with breakfast. I became a fan of bacon."
