Carlo Ancelotti to accept Chelsea job… but on one condition
CARLO ANCELOTTI will reportedly only accept the Chelsea manager's job if he is offered a permanent deal.
Carlo Ancelotti does not want to join Chelsea on an interim basis
Ancelotti is one of several men in the frame to take over at Stamford Bridge should Jose Mourinho be sacked.
Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola and former Blues boss Guus Hiddink are also possible candidates for Mourinho's post, while Gary Neville's name was put forward yesterday.
Ancelotti, 56, won the 2010 Premier League title during his two-year stint in charge of Chelsea.
He is out of work after being sacked by Real Madrid in the summer and is understood to be keen on returning to management - but not on a temporary basis.
