Real Madrid Coach says coaching Barcelona is “not an option” for him.
Although there are rumours his time at the club could be coming to an end, with Brazil and Chelsea said to be keen on the 63-year-old.
Despite all the talk of the next destination in Ancelotti’s hugely successful managerial career, he has ruled out ever joining Madrid’s Clasico rivals.
“For me, coaching Barcelona is impossible,” Ancelotti told reporters at his pre-match press conference ahead of Madrid’s LaLiga meeting with Villarreal on Saturday.
“After 1,272 games [as a coach], I don’t have to prove anything.
“I wouldn’t change myself. You have to respect my personal history and that of the clubs.
“I won’t change myself for anyone because I feel very comfortable here, where the people love me a lot. It’s the best club in the world.
“I am loved and I feel secure, so there is no reason for me to change Real Madrid for Barcelona.”
Ancelotti’s side pummelled Barca 4-0 in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final at Camp Nou on Wednesday to overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit and confirm their place in the final against Osasuna.
Ancelotti ,regarded as one of the best of his generation has won a LaLiga title and a pair of Champions League trophies with Madrid across two spells.
