Arrigo Sacchi has encouraged AC Milan and Roma to call Carlo Ancelotti if he left Real Madrid.
Madrid was beaten out of the Champions League after a 5-1 total defeat against Arsenal in the quarterfinals, with some reports that suggest that Ancelotti could now be fired after the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona on 26 April.
Los Blancos are currently seven points on leaders Barca in Laliga, with a match in the hand that will be played against Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
Sergio Concukicao was brought in to improve the fortunes of Milan after Paulo Fonseca was fired in December, but since he won the Supercoppa Italiana in January, his party has struggled for consistency.
Milan will be confronted on Sunday with the third placed Atalanta in the Serie A while they want to close the gap on the top four.
After they are unbeaten in five consecutive games (W4 D1), however, they lost two of their last three Series A matches (D1) against La Dea.
Milan is ninth in the Serie A, eight points in fourth place Juventus with six more games, with a Champions League place for next season.

And Sacchi, those two spells enjoyed the leadership of Milan, believes that there is no harm in his former club, and Roma, in an attempt to talk to Ancelotti.
“I don't know what Carletto wants to do,” Sacchi told Gazzetta. “Apparently the Brazilian federation has been after him for a while, and certainly the chance of the Selecao at the World Cup is tempting.
“In any case, I would call Carletto if I was in Milan or Roma. It costs nothing. I don't know if the dream will come true. Let's just keep dreaming now.”
Despite the interest of Sacchi in Ancelotti who joins Milan with Milan, he insisted that Madrid should think twice before he would leave him after this season.
Ancelotti returned to the Santiago Bernabeu in 2021 and has since won 11 trophies, including two Champions League titles, two LaLiga titles, the Copa del Rey and the Club World Cup.
“What makes me sad, even if this is part of football, is that everyone criticizes Carletto because of an exit from the Champions League and blames him for the elimination,” Sacchi added.
“Do these people have any idea who Ancelotti is? Do they know what he has won? I consider him a real master in the game, not only because of the trophies, but also for his human qualities.
“Real Madrid should not think once, but two or three times, before he releases someone like Carletto.”
