Ancelotti: ‘Italy job in 2030!’

By Football Italia staff

Carlo Ancelotti says he could coach Italy in 2030’ and that he prefers not to take jobs mid-season.

The former Milan Coach was fired by Real Madrid last summer and turned down the opportunity to take over at San Siro again, preferring to take a sabbatical year.

“I had some offers around the world but in the end I preferred to stay off for a year,” he told the Daily Mail.

“I had three experiences. At Juventus I started in February, Milan and PSG in November, and all three of them were not good.

“So I prefer to stay one year off. If I’m lucky and I find a club in the summer, then great. If it doesn’t happen then maybe I have to consider taking a job during the season, but not now.

“The Italy job? Maybe in 2030…There is this 12-year pattern with Italy, which goes back to 1970.

“In ’70 they lost the final, in ’82 won, in ’94 lost the final again and in 2006 won. That means Italy will lose the final in 2018 so I will take charge for 2030. Maybe England will win again in 2066.”
