Ancelotti wants to continue his "beautiful adventure" at Chelsea
Marcello Lippi, who led the side to World Cup success in 2006, has returned to coach the side following Roberto Donadoni's disappointing Euro 2008 campaign, but he has come under fire from fans and the press for his refusal to select the likes of Antonio Cassano and Amauri.
Lippi is expected to leave Italy after the finals next summer but, while Ancelotti admits he would love to coach an international side, he insists he is intending to stay at Stamford Bridge for the foreseeable future.
"I like the idea of coaching a national team, but at the moment, I'm staying at Chelsea," he told La Repubblica. "In June, I want to enjoy the live games as a spectator.

"I won't be the Italian coach next season. I'm the Chelsea coach and I want to finish this beautiful adventure."

Meanwhile, Napoli sporting director Riccardo Bigon has denied reports Chelsea are set to make a January swoop for Marek Hamsik.

Reports in England have claimed that Chelsea are lining up a bid for Slovakia midfielder Hamsik, who scored the only goal of the game as his country beat USA in a friendly at the weekend.

However, Bigon insists they have no intention of allowing the 22-year-old to leave and that the focus is more on potential arrivals than sales.

"There is no official request for buying him," he told Sky Italia. "Marek is indispensable to the club. He is not for sale.

"We have a huge team with 25 players, and it's tough to bring a new addition to the team but, if there's a chance to improve, we will. We will take a look in the next transfer window to see if there's something interesting to do."
