Carlo Ancelotti rejected AC Milan job after Real Madrid stint


Carlo Ancelotti rejected the chance to return to AC Milan because he felt drained by his time in Real Madrid, the former Chelsea boss revealed. The Italian coach was dismissed by the Spanish giants in May after two years in charge, despite leading them to Champions League success in 2014. 
"When he learned I wouldn't be staying in Madrid, Galliani (AC Milan CEO) came to test the waters,


He showed me all his affection, but I told him right away: 'no thanks'. We spent some nice days together, Galliani is nice, and he's intelligent but after two years at Real I had no energy. Real is very draining. We didn't even talk about money. That said, if it had been another time I would have come backAncelotti told Corriere della Sera.

Ancelotti won eight major honours as Milan boss between 2001 and 2009.
