Ancelotti plays down Chelsea talks

AC Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti says there has been no contact with the Chelsea job and has distanced himself from the post at Stamford Bridge.

There have been talks linking the Rossoneri coach with a move to the Premier League once interim Blues manager Guus Hiddink's contract runs out at the end of the season.

Ancelotti says he knows nothing of the link with Chelsea.

"That's news to me," he told Sky Italia.

"I think there is a bit of intolerance towards me, but that is only normal.

"We (Milan and Ancelotti) have been together for so long and to see the same face over and over again, you need a lot of patience.

"All I can say is that my relationship with the club is still the same after seven years.

"I feel the same levels of esteem and affection from the club."
