Carlo Ancelotti has admitted that he would be eager to become Roma head coach in the future.

The Italian has been out of work since leaving Real Madrid at the end of last season and has recently been linked with both Chelsea and Liverpool.

A return to AC Milan is also rumoured to be a possibility next summer, but Ancelotti has opened the door to becoming Rudi Garcia's successor in the capital.

Ancelotti told Corriere dello Sport: "I would very much love to be Roma coach one day, as it's a team I love in a city that I love.

"The city was marvellous and the fans fantastic. When I got off the train and took a taxi to the club headquarters, then the fans started insulting the poor taxi driver because he must be a Lazio fan for wanting to get paid for the journey."

Roma currently sit third in Serie A.
