Carlo Ancelotti has doubled down on suggestions that he will leave Real Madrid in the summer, ruling out a move to Chelsea once and for all. Frank Lampard was appointed as caretaker manager earlier this month with Todd Boehly yet find the Blues a new boss ahead of next season.
Julian Nagelsmann, Luis Enrique and Ancelotti have all been heavily linked with taking the head coach role at Stamford Bridge. Marcelo Gallardo, Mauricio Pochettino and Jose Mourinho have also been mentioned in relation to the vacancy, but an obvious frontrunner is yet to emerge.
In the meantime, the Real Madrid boss has ruled himself out not once but twice, insisting that he still has a contract to respect at the Santiago Bernabeu. Ancelotti sees his deal in the Spanish capital expire at the end of next season after he returned to the club for a second spell in charge in 2021.
