Ancelotti keen to make move for Pato

koclokindoblog, 12 Mei 2012, Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that his side will try to lure Alexandre Pato away from AC Milan in the summer.

The ambitious French club failed to wrap up a deal for Pato in January, with Ancelotti stating on several occasions that they would try again at the end of the season.

"We already talked about Pato in January, I think that it will happen again in June," Ancelotti told Sky Sport Italia.

The Italian coach paid tribute to Milan trio Alessandro Nesta, Gennaro Gattuso and Filippo Inzaghi, who will all leave San Siro at the end of the season.

"I feel sad because these are players who have had great careers at Milan," he said.

"But life goes on and I am sure that other doors will open for them."

Massimiliano Allegri is about to enter his third year in charge of the Rossoneri, and Ancelotti praised the conditions that Milan have always offered to their coaches.

"I think it is more exhausting to coach other sides than Milan, who are a great club," the 52-year-old said.

"The atmosphere at Milan is ideal to work at the highest level. It is better than at any other club."

PSG mettle impresses Ancelotti

koclokindoblog, 4 Mei 2012, Carlo Ancelotti was delighted to see Paris Saint-Germain get back in the Ligue 1 title race following their 2-0 win over Saint-Etienne on Wednesday.

After leaders Montpellier drew 2-2 against Evian a day earlier, Ancelotti's side moved to within three points of Rene Girdard's side with three matches to play.

And the former Milan and Chelsea coach expects the title race to be decided on the last day of the season.

"Everyone was saying PSG had lost the title, but football is bizarre," Ancelotti said.

"We were disappointed after losing to Lille, but things are looking up now. Now we need to try and win our last three matches."

"Our primary goal is to be playing Champions League football next season, and we managed to get back to within three points.

"Not a bad effort considering the pressure we were under, and we bounced back well after losing to Lille. As I've said all along, I think the title will be decided on the last day of the season."

PSG will have to deal with Valenciennes, Rennes and Lorient in their last three games of the campaign.
