Former Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti has said he ‘couldn’t coach Inter’ out of respect for the Rossoneri.
The ex-PSG, Chelsea and Real Madrid boss was linked with a return to Milan in the summer before deciding against it, paving the way for Sinisa Mihajlovic’s appointment.
The 56-year-old won two European Cups and two Scudetti with the Rossoneri as a player, before again winning the league and two Champions League titles as Coach.
“I could not coach Inter,” he said to Goal.com.

“I could not coach Inter,” he said to Goal.com.
“Because I had so many years at Milan, it's a question of respect towards my history and the history of the club I have coached.
"There are many squads that I must avoid. I cannot go against my history.
"When I finished with Madrid, there was contact with Galliani. We met in Madrid but I had to have this operation.
"I would have been out for four months and I wouldn't have been able to be at 100 per cent.
"So, while it disappointed me a little, it was the right thing to do and Milan understood this.
"I have had the good fortune to have enjoyed myself everywhere I have coached.
"For this reason, I can't say that I would not return to one club or another. I would certainly return to Milan, just as I would return to PSG.
"Regardless of how things finished, they are experiences of which I have great memories."
