Ancelotti had a stellar career as a player and manager with AC Milan - guiding the Rossoneri to Champions League glory on two occasions. He joined Chelsea in 2009 and led them to Premier League and FA Cup success last term, but this season has been a tough one. The Blues are still in the hunt for honours but he has been linked with a return to Italy.
Chelsea did little to dampen talk about Ancelotti's future recently and Inter are believed to be tracking his progress.
"Would I go to Inter in place of Leonardo? No," Ancelotti told Il Giorno. "I've spent 13 years at Milan, for me it is impossible to ignore the past.
"Moratti [Inter president, Massimo] has been thinking about me? I thank him for the kind words but I'm an AC Milan man. In the event that Moratti calls me in the future, I'll politely decline the invitation."
The Italian is focused on his role with Chelsea, but it is obvious that AC Milan hold a place in his heart.
"I am not thinking about returning to AC Milan," he said. "I'm at Chelsea. But if one day [club chief Silvio] Berlusconi or someone from AC Milan calls, I would not think for a moment to say yes, because certain relationships and certain victories will never be forgotten."
