Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti dismissed claims of a deadline over his commitment about next season.

Ancelotti is a confirmed target for the Brazilian Football Confederation as they seek a new national team coach. It's been claimed he has a May 25 deadline to make a decision.

But Ancelotti said: "I've already said that I'm not talking about my future. But, I'll answer: the deadline is nonsense. There is no deadline because I never... I haven't talked to anyone."

Ancelotti has previously said of the Selecao job: "No (I don't plan to retire). Let's see.

"I am very excited that Brazil wants me, but I have to respect the contract with Madrid, which I want to fulfil."
