Ancelotti was sacked as Real Madrid manager in May of 2015, but has allegedly been linked to taking over the position at Old Trafford in the summer of 2016. Consdering Van Gaal's record at Manchester, he might be on his way out.
This news comes from The Daily Star, so we're not holding our breath on this one, though it would certainly be one of the biggest football stories of the year.
Meanwhile, according to Express, Ronaldo recently praised his former coach and planted the seeds of hope for United fans by admitting he'd love to play for Ancelotti again.
"Mr. Ancelotti was an unbelievable surprise. In the beginning I thought he was more a tough person, more - kind of arrogant, and it was the opposite," he explained. "He's like a big bear, I can say. He's a cute guy, such a sensitive person. He spoke with us every day. Not just with me but with all the players. He had fun with us. He's an unbelievable person. I just wish every player could have an opportunity to work with him because he's a fantastic guy, a fantastic coach and I miss him a lot because we won many trophies together."
