Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says he's happy where he is and not interested in a return to Chelsea.

Ahead of their Champions League quarterfinal second-leg at Chelsea, Ancelotti was asked about rumours of being on the Blues shortlist as they seek a new manager.

He said: I want to clarify my situation. I said I don't wish to discuss it and I said so in Spain. I have a contract until 2024 and I would like to stay at Real Madrid. Chelsea are on a tough run and we have to play as well as possible tomorrow. It could be a huge opportunity to turn the situation around and we have to consider that to ensure we give our best tomorrow."

Ancelotti was also asked about Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly addressing the players immediately after Saturday's defeat to Brighton.

He stated: "I think that could motivate the players. Things aren't going so well at Chelsea and that could inspire the players to do better. If the club wishes to do that, I wouldn't have a problem.

"If the president came down after every game, I'd be pleased. He has the right to know the decisions the coach is making. It's within the club's rights to know what's happening."
