After Gian Piero Ventura was fired as Italy manager, there were contacts with Carlo Ancelottim however, the ex-Bayern Munich coach turned down the chance. Ancelotti spoke to Domenica Sportiva about this and other subjects, "Me as the Italy manger? No, it would mean changing jobs, I want to continue managing at the club level. I am honored by the fact that all of the Italians want me. Italian football has problems and I don't think only I can solve them, it is a systematic question. At this moment the Italian players are not at the same level as the Spanish, German or English. The FIGC contacted me but there is a conflict of interest between the national team and the clubs, the FIGC must be in command of the clubs in order to improve the system. The clubs must help the federation. I didn't have any problems with Tavecchio, but I wasn't in contact with him. Milan? I never had contact with the new directors or owners, but I would like to return to Italy. Juventus? They are doing extraordinary things, I have a lot of respect for Andrea Agnelli."
