"I don't know what the future holds for me. For now, things are going well at Madrid," Ancelotti told Italy's Rai Radio on Monday.

"We have many goals to achieve this season. There will be time to think about my future. I have a contract until June 30, 2024, and, if Real Madrid don't kick me out before then, I won't move."

The position of Brazil's head coach became vacant earlier this month when Tite stepped down following the team's World Cup quarterfinal defeat to Croatia.

Ancelotti has been touted as a possible replacement, along with Jose Mourinho, Thomas Tuchel and Abel Ferreira, reports Xinhua.
