Galliani hopeful over Ancelotti deal

Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani expects Carlo Ancelotti to give him an answer regarding a return to San Siro next Wednesday.

Adriano Galliani hopes Milan can tug on the heart-strings of Carlo Ancelotti and lure him back to San Siro for a second stint in charge.

Ancelotti is in demand following his exit from Real Madrid earlier this week, and Milan is hoping to trump any other potential suitors and agree a deal with the 55-year-old.

However, Milan is not at the same level as the club he previously managed between 2001 and 2009, so chief executive Galliani knows the team has a tough job to convince Ancelotti to return.
