AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti to meet with Adriano Galliani for future talks

26 May 2009 12:24
Speculation has been rife in Italy and England that Ancelotti will replace Guus Hiddink at Stamford Bridge, and he is set to sit down with the club directors this week to discuss his future. However, he claims he is happy to remain in Milan as long as the club want him, adding that he has no plans to meet with Chelsea and club owner Roman Abramovich. "My future will be much clearer for everyone after the meeting I will have with the Milan directors at the end of the season," said Ancelotti, whose current contract at the San Siro runs out next summer. "The game against Fiorentina will not influence my choices or those of the club. It has zero impact on my future and only matters to get direct access to next season's Champions League. "I don't have any meeting planned shortly with Abramovich. I have been learning English for two years and if the Milan directors ask me to stay, I will." Earlier in the season rumours spread that the only way Ancelotti could save his job was with a second place finish and a guaranteed Champions league spot. If true, it will all come down to their final match. Milan are currently three points above Fiorentina but know that defeat against La Viola this Sunday would condemn them to the Champions League qualifying stages.
