Carlo Ancelotti has said that he intends to find a job managing an English club.

Since being sacked by Chelsea at the weekend, the Italian has been linked with the newly-promoted QPR and Serie A's Roma.

Speaking of the Roma rumours, Ancelotti told Italian station Sky Sports 24: "I have not had contact with the club, I still have to resolve my contract with Chelsea. My intention is to remain in England. I have spent two beautiful years here, I have felt really well and I want to remain here. I am in no hurry to find an immediate solution.

"Since 1995 up to now, I've only had a minor break, because I've always coached, and hence, this would be an opportunity to update myself, see new things, and face new challenges with a different experience."

Ancelotti added that he is planning a trip to St Petersburg to visit friend Luciano Spalletti, manager of Zenit.
