Ancelotti eager to discuss new Real Madrid contract

Carlo Ancelotti admits he's keen to discuss new terms with Real Madrid.

The Italian insists winning the La Decima isn't enough.

"I hope (to be in the history of Madrid) not only for la Décima. I have a contract until 2016 and we are talking about my renewal," he said.

"I like being called the 'trainer of champions', but the true champions do not need trainers. They are the most serious and more professional, look at Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Real is a very well structured club. The members named their president every four years, and they also become a tool of control. There is no tycoon, but a formidable management of the brand. Real Madrid wants the best, and as a consequence, the better they play."
