Carlo Ancelotti, who was released from Real Madrid, rejected the opportunity to become the coach of Milan, once again stating that he wants to take a break from work.
The 55-year-old specialist announced last week about his plans to spend 12 months without football and recover after an upcoming back surgery.
Nevertheless, the club owner Silvio Berlusconi sent managing director Adriano Galliani to Madrid to negotiate his return.
At that time, Ancelotti said that his chances of returning to the "fashion capital" were 50-50, but yesterday the Italian definitively stated that he would not take the job.
Thanks to @acmilan for their support interest. It was hard to say no to such a beloved club to me but I need some rest. I wish them the best

As candidates who could take over the team's helm from Filippo Inzaghi, names like Roberto Donadoni, who coached Parma last season, Unai Emery, the coach of Sevilla, former Genoa's Sampdoria manager Sinisa Mihajlovic, Italy's national team coach Antonio Conte, and Vincenzo Montella, who leads Fiorentina in Florence, are mentioned.
