In recent weeks, Pep Guardiola was connected to the position, but according to Marca, former Barcelona player Gary Lineker has now disclosed that Carlo Ancelotti was also being considered by the English FA.
“It was verified that they had conversations with Pep Guardiola and, to the best of my knowledge, Ancelotti during the summer.”

It’s hardly surprising that he expressed little interest in coaching England, as it is quite probable that he will end his career after his tenure at the Santiago Bernabeu is up.

He guided Real Madrid to a Copa del Rey championship and their eleventh Champions League win in his debut season.
In May 2015, Ancelotti was fired from Real Madrid, even though the team won more titles and he was given the Miguel Muñoz Trophy for best manager in La Liga in 2014–15.
