Carlo Ancelotti has contacted English Championship club Blackburn Rovers over their vacant managerial role, according to reports in the UK media.
However, it is not because he is looking to leave Real Madrid for second-tier football.
The Sun report Ancelotti spoke to Blackburn to give a glowing review for his former assistant at Everton, Duncan Ferguson, who is a contender for the role.
Ancelotti and Ferguson worked together and Goodison Park after the former Scotland international had previously been in charge in a caretaker role.
The report added that Ancelotti actually wanted to take Ferguson to Spain with him when he left Everton for Madrid but that the ex-Goodison striker was loyal to his former club and decided to stay and work under Rafael Benitez.
Ferguson is currently part of Everton’s backroom staff under manager, Frank Lampard.
Blackburn have been looking for a new boss following former coach Tony Mowbray’s departure after they failed to make the play-offs.

Yo Andrew, are you really that bored to report this kind of nonsense?
Yo Andy pandy, are you that bored to report this kind of nonsense?
have noticed how football italia censors anything to do with criticising their reporters, then the media says Russia are bad.
All criticism of reporters gets filtered now, what happened to free speech.
Geezes Football Italia! I thought Tuttosport were bad, but this drivel takes the cake!
And we care about this why?
who cares
FI aping the Sun’s stories….. Honestly, this newspaper is boycotted because of their treatment of Liverpudlians – there is a serious and very well-grounded moral premise for taking nothing to do with that newspaper and its words
