Carlo Ancelotti wants to stay on in England – even if it means managing West Ham

The Stamford Bridge boss, under fire after failing to win anything this season, has been tipped to get the bullet this week and return home to coach his beloved Roma.

But although he does hope to return there eventually, Ancelotti reckons he loves England so much he would drop a division and take a pay cut to stay.

“It doesn’t matter if you manage a top team or a smaller team,” he claimed. “For me it’s important just to work. “So why not West Ham?

The Championship and the stadiums are fantastic. The difference is the money, but when you manage you don’t think about money, you think about working with passion. This is my job,” he added.

“The money has never been a motivation for me or for the players. The motivation is to stay at the top as a player and as a manager.”
