(ANSA) - Milan, May 21 - AC Milan have sent an emissary to Spain to verify whether it will be possible to bring Carlo Ancelotti, the current coach of Real Madrid, back to the Serie A side, ANSA sources said Thursday.
    Club owner Silvio Berlusconi recently said he had different visions about football to Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi, which has been interpreted as a signal the former striker will be ousted in the closed season.
    Milan are 11th in Serie A with two games to go to the end of the campaign. Ancelotti, 55, won two Champions League titles, a Club World Cup, a Serie A crown and an Italian Cup during his 2001-2009 stint as Milan coach.
    He went on to win English and French league titles with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain and he won the Champions League for the third time as a coach with Real last season.
    But Real are set to end this season trophy-less and there are reports of friction between Ancelotti, who has a year to run on his current contract, and Chairman Florentino Perez. According to press reports, Perez wants to bring in Napoli coach Rafa Benitez to replace Ancelotti.
