Carlos Ancelotti could be on his way back to AC Milan in the summer, rumours in Italy suggest.

The current Real Madrid coach is thought to be under pressure following two successive losses, first to Athletic Club in La Liga, then Schalke in the Champions League. This coupled with Rossoneri boss Filippo Inzaghi’s less than impressive tenure, has led Milan to turn to their former coach.

According to Tuttosport, Milan are not yet ready to confirm Inzaghi as their coach for next season in the hope of landing Ancelotti.

Milan also believe they can persuade Ancelotti to reduce his €8 million-a-year salary by half, though anything more is thought to be out of the Rossoneri’s price range.

Ancelotti led Milan to two Champions League titles – 2003 and 2007 – as well as the Scudetto in 2004.
