Former AC Milan and Chelsea manager Carlo Anceltti is pleased and happy to be linked with the coaching job at Arsenal.
After Arsene Wenger’s announcement about retirement at the end of the season, the Gunners are looking for appropriate candidate to replace the manager after 22 years in helm.
The Italian coach who has been without job since he was sacked by Bayern Munich in September, is considered to be one of the frontrunners to replace the Frenchman.
“He decided to leave and it was a great gesture of solidity,” Ancelotti said at the Match For Solidarity in Geneva. “He made history, and he has to be recognised for that.
"The Gunners know their own future, if their plans involve me then I’m pleased from a professional point of view, but at the moment there’s nothing else.
“My future depends on the chances and projects presented to me, it’s not only up to me. Right now though I’m focused on helping Uefa with this wonderful event for those in need.”
Ancelotti has Premier League experience from his time at Chelsea between 2009 and 2011 where he won the league, FA Cup and Community Shield.
