Ancelotti scoffs at Mourinho reports

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti insists he is not concerned about the possibility of Jose Mourinho returning to the Barclays Premier League.

Rumours continue to circulate that Mourinho, who won two English titles with Chelsea during a successful three-year stint, is eyeing a return to England and possibly Chelsea, despite the current Inter Milan supremo insisting that he will stay at the San Siro until 2012.

Having admired Mourinho's Stamford Bridge work, Ancelotti has declared that he is far from surprised that his Portuguese opposite number wants a return to the Premier League, but that he does not feel any added pressure.

"He (Mourinho) will have to wait because I am now the manager and I am staying here," Ancelotti told Sky Sports.

"As far as I'm concerned, Mourinho is coach of Inter Milan so he is not my opponent.

"It does not surprise me he wants to come back to England," he said.

"He spent three years at Chelsea he knows the English game and the environment here very well.

"The Premier League is the best competition in the world, so it is only natural any coach would want to work here."

The two managers will pit their wits against each other when Chelsea face Inter Milan in the last 16 of the UEFA the Champions League at the end of next month.
