Chelsea holds no appeal to AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti
Chelsea confirmed on Wednesday that Hiddink would manage the side until the end of the season, at the same time as overseeing Russia's World cup qualifying campaign, but Ancelotti is reportedly Abramovich's main candidate to replace Luiz Felipe Scolari in the long term. [LNB]However, Ancelotti, who is under contract until June 2010 said: 'The only club that has made a move to sign me has been Chelsea. [LNB]'In the summer I met Abramovich but I didn't want to leave AC Milan. [LNB]'The same thing happens now, I am not thinking about leaving.' [LNB]Ancelotti, 49, is the longest serving manager in Italy's top flight after joining the Rossoneri in 2001. And it is not the first time he has been linked with a move away from the San Siro. [LNB]'Even seven years ago this happened,' Ancelotti said. [LNB]'At this point of the season the same story comes out but I am not worried.' [LNB]Beckham, who equalled Bobby Moore's record of 108 caps for an outfield player for England in a 2-0 defeat to European Champions Spain, is eager to stay with Milan after he completes a loan deal from MLS side LA Galaxy.[LNB]And Ancelotti confirmed that the same desire was felt by the club after he has been impressed with Beckham's work rate and contribution to the team in the short time he has been in Italy.[LNB]'In my opinion, in order to keep Beckham sacrifices should be made because he is an important player for the team,' said Ancelotti.[LNB]
