Ancelotti keeps going

UEFA Champions League winners AC Milan have rewarded coach Carlo Ancelotti with a new contract that will keep him in charge of the Rossoneri until 2010:

I don’t think I will coach Milan all my life. When this story is finished, I would like to train the national team. But only after 2010.

The 47-year-old, whose previous contract was due to expire in 2008, joined Milan in November 2001 and has since led them to three UEFA Champions League finals – with victories coming in 2003 and 2007 – one Scudetto and one Coppa Italia. An Italian international in his playing days, Ancelotti also served the Rossoneri as a midfielder between 1987 and 1992, helping them win the European Champion Clubs’ Cup in 1989 and 1990.
