Carlo Ancelotti believes Manchester United could provide the ideal environment for Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli - and suggested he would like to see the player at Chelsea.
Mario Balotelli is often portrayed as a divisive figure in Italy
Balotelli, 19, could be set to leave Inter this summer after a difficult year, and the player's agent has confirmed that United have joined Manchester City in the race for his signature.
Ancelotti believes Balotelli could excel if he moves to Old Trafford and said he may be better suited to England than Italy.
"They (United) are a team with great tradition, which helps that type of player," he told Sky Sport24. "Here, the environment is different and I think a player with his character could find it better than in Italy.
"It's difficult to find a player so young with his quality, and England has a lack of players at that level."
Asked if he would like to coach Balotelli, he responded simply by saying: "Yes."
Ancelotti was also asked again about reports Real Madrid midfielder Kaka could move to Stamford Bridge.
"There is no chance of him coming here because he's a Real Madrid player," he said. "I don't think think Real are willing to put him on the market - they bought him last year and therefore this is fantasy. If Real say, 'We want to sell Kaka', it could be the case that Chelsea are interested."
