Carlo Ancelotti appears
to have confirmed that his Real Madrid tenure is over after revealing he
requires surgery and plans to take a year off.
The 55-year-old is
widely expected to end his two-year tenure at Santiago Bernabeu after
failing to win a trophy this season.
Ancelotti has been
linked with a return to Milan, with chief executive Adriano Galliani
revealing that he was heading to Madrid to meet the Real coach.
However, the former
Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea boss has spoken of his plans to take a
break from the game for health reasons.
The Italian told Il
Giornale: "I said it in the press conference and I repeat: I will stop for
a year. Also because I have a very serious reason for stopping.
"I have to have an
operation because of my cervical stenosis. For some time, it has been affecting
my hands and if I lose any more time, it could pass into legs, so I have an
appointment for surgery.
"And, frankly, I do
not know how long I have to be physically stopped, in terms of the
post-operative phase and the subsequent rehabilitation.
"It will be a
pleasure to host [Galliani] for dinner, but I cannot change my programme.
"I will have the
operation in Vancouver, Canada, where I have already got a house with my
wife. I will rest, between Madrid and Canada. Because the two years at
Real have been very tough, believe me.
"Nobody can imagine
how much training Real takes out of you, in terms of physical and nervous
energy.
"Then, I will
return home for another event: in a month, my grandson will be born. That's
something that I cannot and do not want to miss."
Ancelotti,
though. refused to rule out a return to San Siro at some point in his
career.
He said: "I have
always said and thought that if I were to return to Italy one day to train a
club, it could only be for Milan."
