Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti is still at odds with Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho.

The two men have had a long history of rivalry and nothing has changed as Ancelotti declares his position.

"Before the Champions League match between Inter and Chelsea we called a truce. We met in the San Siro corridors and we made an agreement. No more polemics or dramas," he told La Repubblica.

"We never really liked each other, but since I have been in England my views have changed. When I won the Premier League he sent me a text, and I sent him one when he won Serie A.

"I don't think we can ever be friends, but there is a sincere reciprocal respect between us."
