5 possible destinations for Carlo Ancelotti

#2 AC Milan

UEFA Champions League Final: Liverpool v AC Milan

This is the first time in Ancelotti's 22 years in management where he has been sacked midway through the season. Undoubtedly this is his toughest moment as a manager, and the perfect ailment is to return to his roots. Ancelotti earned domestic fame as manager of Parma and Juventus but it was with Milan that he truly reached his pinnacle.

The Italian won two UEFA Champions League titles with the Rossoneri, and this would be the perfect moment to return since Milan now have the financial power to compete in the transfer market. Vincenzo Montella has spent big, but hasn't had the best of starts, with the 4-1 hammering by Lazio resulting in plenty of questions.

Milan have the base of a supremely talented squad and with Ancelotti at the helm, they could attract some top talent, which would enable a return to the top echelons of the UEFA Champions League.

Two years ago, Ancelotti turned Milan down. Things will surely be different this time around:

Thanks to @acmilan for their support interest. It was hard to say no to such beloved club to me but I need some rest. I wish them the best
