To Saudi Arabia for $500 million? You won't believe what coach Ancelotti answered

For almost a year now, the tournament that has been offering the most money to players and coaches is the Pro League. Saudi Arabian clubs, especially the top clubs like Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli, are willing to pay a fortune to raise the level of their team and compete for the most important titles in the country and the continent.

Cristiano Ronaldo was the first to make the decision to leave Europe and start a new stage of his professional career in Saudi Arabia in exchange for a salary of more than $200 million per year. And others followed suit soon after. Stars such as Neymar, Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante, Bono, Riyad Mahrez, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Jordan Henderson also accepted those offers and left Europe's top clubs.

Coaches are no exception. In fact, one of the highest paid in the world is Steven Gerrard, who this year was hired by Al-Ettifaq. And rumor has it that others could join in the future, such as Jose Mourinho.

This Friday Carlo Ancelotti gave a press conference before the match between Real Madrid and Real Betis. A journalist asked him if he would be willing to go to the Pro League in exchange for $500 million and his answer was unexpected: "I would go on foot for $500 million, I don't need a flight. I would walk. This caused laughter from those who were there, but then the Italian manager clarified: “Just kidding, everyone chooses what they want. The world is changing, and it will change. I'm not surprised by anyone”.

What will happen to him?

It is not clear what will happen to Carlo Ancelotti after the end of this season. The Brazilian national team has made him an offer, although there is also the possibility that he will continue at Real Madrid or go to Saudi Arabia. On this, he said: "They have not called me, I live in the present, which is very nice. I have other goals and ideas, I have never thought about money. I feel good, I feel good here and I hope I continue to feel good here".
