Ancelotti denies Real contact Paris Saint-Germain manager Carlo Ancelotti has denied he has been in contact with Real Madrid about taking over at the Bernabeu.
The Italian has long been linked with the role in the Spanish capital, with Jose Mourinho widely expected to leave and rejoin Chelsea.
However, Ancelotti, who has guided PSG to their first French league title since 1994 and came close to knocking out Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, insisted there have been no negotiations between himself and the deposed La Liga champions.
"I am honoured of the job I have done here. A manager in general has big responsibility. When you achieve a result you have to be honoured," Ancelotti said.

Balotelli warned against walk-off protest Mario Balotelli faces dismissal if he walks off in protest at racist chanting, the head of the Italian Referees Association has declared.
The Milan striker said earlier in the week that he would walk off the pitch if he was subjected to racist abuse from opposing fans.
Balotelli has been the target of chants from fans of Roma and Inter among others, but the head of referees in Italy confirmed the former Manchester City striker would be dismissed if he carried out his threat to exit the field of play.
He told Italian news service SkyTG24: "Everyone is free to express their own opinions but there are rules. Whoever leaves the field to make a protest, without warning the referee or without being substituted will be sent off."

Serie A : Inter Milan - Udinese Udinese will aim to seal a European spot with a win over Inter Milan on the final day of the Serie A season on Sunday.
With one match remaining, Udinese sit two points clear of Lazio in fifth - the last UEFA Europa League place in Italy.
Francesco Guidolin's men have won seven straight matches and visit an Inter side who have been in disappointing form.
Inter coach Andrea Stramaccioni is under increasing pressure with his outfit ninth and unable to finish any higher than eighth.
With just one win from their past eight encounters in all competitions, Inter are likely to again find it difficult.

Premier League: West Brom - Manchester United Manchester United head to West Brom on Sunday knowing the club will never be the same again once the final whistle sounds.
While there is nothing riding on the match, United's players will undoubtedly be desperate for victory to give outgoing manager Alex Ferguson a fitting send-off in his 1,500th, and final, game in charge.
Ferguson stunned the football world when he announced his retirement last week and following Sunday's Premier League game, the club he is synonymous with will begin a new chapter under David Moyes.
West Brom will give Ferguson a guard of honour before the game kicks off at The Hawthorns, although the home side's manager Steve Clarke insists it will no

Premier League : West Ham - Reading West Ham midfielder Jack Collison has urged his team-mates to finish the Premier League season on a high against relegated Reading.
Collison, who has played a part in West Ham's past 11 Premier League matches to take his season tally to 16 games, has called on the east London club to ensure a top-half finish with victory against Reading on Sunday.
The 24-year-old Welsh midfielder feels the final match of the season is an opportunity to celebrate "a magnificent season".
"We're really looking forward to the Reading game, back at home, in front of our fans and hopefully we'll have reasons to celebrate," Collison told the club's official website.

Premier League : Tottenham - Sunderland Emmanuel Adebayor could cap off an amazing transformation on Sundayunday as he looks to be the key to Tottenham's UEFA Champions League bid.
Tottenham will host Sunderland at White Hart Lane on the final day of the 2012-13 Premier League, knowing victory is their only option if they are to qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League ahead of arch-rivals Arsenal.
With 90 minutes remaining in this campaign, Tottenham sit fifth in the table with 69 points and plus 19 goal difference, while Arsenal (70 points, plus 34) hold fourth spot and its accompanying berth in the qualifying stages of the 2013-14 UEFA Champions League.
Tottenham must defeat 17th-placed Sunderland on

Premier League : Liverpool - QPR Queens Park Rangers will bid farewell to the Premier League at Anfield when they visit Liverpool on Sunday.
The only achievement possible for Harry Redknapp's charges heading into the final day is a minor chance of escaping bottom spot - as a win over Brendan Rodgers' team, combined with a Reading loss to West Ham, would see them into 19th spot and avoid the dreaded last place.
It would be mere consolation, of course, given the body blow of relegation - confirmed three games ago when they drew with fellow Championship side-to-be Reading - will still be felt at Loftus Road for some time to come.
Liverpool can gain nothing from the season finale - nor can they suffer - in t
