Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that when he finally leaves Milan, the only other team he could coach in Italy would be Roma.
Ancelotti is currently in his seventh season as Milan boss after taking over the reins at San Siro in 2001 and has since won two Champions League titles and a Scudetto with the club.
Many believe that when the 48-year-old finally leaves he will either move to Roma, a team he played for as a player for eight years, or he will become the new boss of the Italian national team.
"I am happy at Milan and Spalletti is happy in Rome at this current moment in time," said Ancelotti. "However it is possible that at some point in the future it would be possible to do an exchange."
"I think if you consider my past experiences then Roma is the only team in Italy where I could go. I will not be able to ever go to Inter and I will not be able to ever return to Juventus or go to Lazio.
"In order to not ruin the past Roma would be the team that in a hypothetical future I could take over. Otherwise I would go to a foreign country or coach the national team."
Ancelotti was part of Roma's greatest ever team from the early 1980's, a squad that included legends such as Falcao, Cerezo, Agostino Di Bartolomei and Bruno Conti. He was asked what was his best memory from that time.
"The Scudetto victory in 1983 for sure," Carletto answered. "We had a great squad and should have won a lot more than we did.
"That squad got into the final of the Champions League [in 1984] and lost at home - it was a tragedy. We won one Scudetto and four Coppa Italia's but we should have won much more with the team we had."
