Ancelotti signs extension


AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has agreed to extend his contract for a further year, tying himself to the Serie A side until at least June, 2008, the club said on Tuesday.

Ancelotti, who is in his fifth season with Milan, had been linked with a possible move to Real Madrid at the end of this season. His original contract was due to expire in June 2007.

The former Milan and Roma player took over in 2001 and led the club to the 2003 Champions League title and the Italian title a season later.

Milan are currently second in Serie A and are in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, where they face French side Olympique Lyon.
