AC Milan determined to persuade Carlo Ancelotti to return as coach

AC Milan are to continue in their quest to convince Carlo Ancelotti to become their coach next season, in spite of the Italian's insistence that he is going to take a year out.Ancelotti was relieved of his duties as coach of Real Madrid on Monday, but reaffirmed in an interview with Il Giornale that he now intends to take a break and cure a back problem.Milan are still keen on appointing him for a second spell in charge, though, and general manager Adriano Galliani dined with the 55-year-old on Tuesday evening.Until he receives a positive answer from the former Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain coach, Galliani says he is not going to be returning to Milan."Carlo knows that if he doesn't say yes to me now, then I'm going to go with him to Vancouver," Galliani told reporters after meeting with Ancelotti on Tuesday, reports La Gazzetta dello Sport. "His wife's fine with that, but I hope it doesn't get that far."Carlo is part of our history. I met him for the first time at Roma in 1987, 28 years ago, and I'm not going to let go of him. I've come to Madrid to take Carlo back to Milan with me and I'm going to see him again tomorrow."
