Leicester City made an approach to Real Madrid coach Davide Ancelotti as a replacement for Enzo Maresca but have received a polite refusal from the Italian.
That’s according to journalist Jorge C. Picón, who says that Ancelotti junior would prefer to remain at Real Madrid for another year than head into management at this point.
The journalist reports that Leicester and Stade Reims have knocked on Ancelotti’s door as they look for new managers this summer.
He’s currently taking a holiday with his father and their family and friends before returning to Madrid to continue their preparations for next season.
He received the offer from Leicester gracefully, with the Foxes seeing him as a good profile to continue the project that they started under Maresca.
Ancelotti gave them and Reims the same answer, though, he wants to stay at Madrid for another year alongside his father.
He’s not closing the door to any proposals, and has even held meetings on that front, but his intention is to finish in Madrid alongside his father and then move into management.
