Carlo Ancelotti said he will not make a quick return to coaching and refused to talk about his Bayern Munich sacking when interviewed at a charity match in Jerusalem.
The Italian was dismissed by Bayern last week after losing the support of the dressing room.
"I will not coach for the next ten months. I will have a break," he claimed, having been linked with a move to Milan if Montella was shown the door.
On his departure from Bayern he added: "I prefer to say nothing."
