Carlo Ancelotti has ruled himself out of the running for the currently vacant Italian national job, with the former Bayern Munich boss keen to secure another club contract, according to reports in Italy.
The 58-year-old met with the Italian Football Federation's emergency leader Roberto Fabbricini and deputy Alessandro Costacurta in Rome on Monday, from which the governing body chiefs were planning to propose a four-year contract to the managerial veteran.
However, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the ex-Chelsea and Real Madrid coach is not prepared to put his name to the role ahead of the May 20 deadline; which was indicated by the FIGC, in the hope of securing a more lucrative deal at club level.
