Carlo Ancelotti has ruled himself out of the Liverpool job.

Ancelotti is on a sabbatical and says he's not interested in taking any job this season.

“I enjoy my time now but, of course, I want to come back to manage – to work – because it is my passion. I want to take my time to rest, but next season I am ready.

“Why not [return to Paris Saint-Germain]? I have very good memories of Paris, PSG, I have good relations with everyone, with Nasser [al-Khelaifi, the PSG president].

“But I’m thinking about other things and PSG has a very good coach in Laurent Blanc. I hope he will continue and shine in the Champions League.”

Jurgen Klopp is close to a deal with Liverpool.
