Report claims Ancelotti to leave PSG

CARLO Ancelotti will not be the Paris St-Germain coach next season, Qatar-owned television channel BeIN Sport reported yesterday.

"Carlo Ancelotti will not be the PSG coach next season. He met (club president Nasser al-Khelaifi) and (sporting director) Leonardo this afternoon in Paris for more than an hour," BeIN Sport, which has television rights for Ligue 1, said on Twitter.

Italian Ancelotti joined PSG, which is owned by Qatar Sports Investments in December 2011, leading it to its first French league title since 1994 last weekend.

PSG was not immediately available for comment.

Ancelotti ducked questions about his future on Friday, saying he had not made his decision then.

Earlier this week, Al-Khelaifi said that he had turned down a Real Madrid move to hire Ancelotti.

"They (Real) came and I discussed it with them. He's got a contract with us for one more year ... for me, he's here next year," Al-Khelaifi said early last week.

Ancelotti, 53, won league titles with PSG, AC Milan and Chelsea, also taking the Italian club to the Champions League title in 2003 and 2007. The Italian's name has been linked with Real Madrid if Jose Mourinho leaves the Bernabeu for a second stint at Chelsea.
