FORMER Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has shot down talk of an emotional Premier League comeback to his former club or Everton after confirming his plans to put his feet up until next season.
The Italian, who led Chelsea to a league and FA Cup double during his first season in charge in 2009-10 before being sacked in 2011, was fired by Bayern Munich last month after the humiliating Champions League loss at Paris Saint-Germain.
Ancelotti has since been linked with a return to Stamford Bridge, with Antonio Conte'sBlues falling nine points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City.
The former Real Madrid and PSG boss has also been tipped for the Everton hot seat following Ronald Koeman's departure last week. But the 58-year-old insisted he has no immediate plans to return to work, and sympathised with his pal and countryman Conte. Ancelotti told Italy's Radio Anch'Io Sport: "I get linked with a new club every day. Recently it was Chelsea. "That angered my friend Antonio Conte, I am often in touch with him, and there is no truth in the rumour.
"Since then there has also been talk of me coaching the Chinese national team, or managing Everton.
"But at the moment I don't know what my future will be. "Let's talk about it again next June. Right now I am going to take a rest."
He was sacked by Chelsea in May 2011, but boasts the Premier League's third-best win percentage behind Jose Mourinho and Sir Alex Ferguson.
