Carlo Ancelotti 'turned down offer to coach Inter Milan because of his LOVE for former club AC Milan', opting for Real Madrid return instead after walking out on Everton

New Real Madrid Carlo Ancelotti was offered the chance to coach Serie A champions Inter Milan but rejected the move out of love for his old club AC Milan, according to a report from Spain.

Ancelotti was announced as Real coach on Tuesday for the second time after unexpectedly walking out on Everton despite having three years left on his contract with the Merseyside club.

Ultimately, returning to the Spanish giants, where he is loved for delivering the long awaited 'La Decima', Real's 10th European Cup in 2014, proved more alluring than trying to engineer a top-six finish with Everton.
