Chelsea news: The Blues are considering their options as Carlo Ancelotti makes his future plans clear at Real Madrid
Carlo Ancelotti has spoken out about his Real Madrid future as the Italian boss prepares to enter his final 12 months contracted at the club. The former Chelsea manager was asked about where he sees himself in the coming year ahead of the Champions League quarter-final, second leg tie at Stamford Bridge.
When posed with what he had planned though, the serial European Cup winner was clear on his ideal circumstances. "You want me to clear up my situation?," he said. "My situation, I have already said it, I don't like to speak about this but I said this in Spain and I repeat here. I have a contract here until 2024 and so I would like to stay in Real Madrid."
He is one of the front-runners for the Chelsea job but with a thorough process of narrowing candidates underway in west London, there is no certainty that the 35-year-old will say yes, especially not if Los Blancos or Paris Saint-Germain were to come calling. The French giants are likewise in a position to pounce.
Christoher Gaultier could find himself out of a job come the summer, therefore opening up the chance of the Parisians also looking at Nagelsmann as their next coach. Tottenham are also in the mix for the German too, having sacked Antonio Conte last month.
