30 June 2009 11:57
Carlo Ancelotti has revealed Paolo Maldini turned down an offer to become part of his coaching staff at Chelsea. Ancelotti joined the London club from AC Milan last month and had hoped Maldini would follow him to Stamford Bridge after hanging up his boots at the end of the season. "I made that proposal to him," said Ancelotti in an interview with Radio Deejay. "But he wanted to take time off and after so many years playing, it's understandable. "But if I could have taken anyone to Chelsea, it would have been Maldini."
