Recent reports have linked Ancelotti with a move to the Brazilian national team and a return to Chelsea.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has reiterated his desire to see out the rest of his contract at the LaLiga club.

Ancelotti’s current deal in Spain runs until June 2024. Recently, there have been reports linking him with the Brazilian national team and Chelsea, who are both manager-less as things stand.

“There’s a nice saying which is just right,” Ancelotti told Radio Rai 1.

“[It is] the wind carries away the chatter. That is it. I have a contract until June 30, 2024, and I would like to respect it.”

Ancelotti previously coached Chelsea between 2009 and 2011. In 109 games, he oversaw 68 victories (D17 L24) and led the Blues to a Premier League and FA Cup double in 2009/10.

The 63-year-old Italian will face his old club on Wednesday in a first-leg Champions League quarter-final tie at the Santiago Bernabeu.
