Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti delivered a witty response when questioned about the prospect of accepting a €500m (£429m) offer to coach in Saudi Arabia.
Over the past year, the Saudi Pro League has made significant waves in football by recruiting top-tier men's players from leading European clubs.
Last December, Cristiano Ronaldo departed Manchester United for Al-Nassr, and throughout the summer, stars like Neymar, Riyad Mahrez, and Karim Benzema followed suit.
Despite this, none of football's eminent managers have been enticed to take on a role in Saudi Arabia. Nonetheless, speculation persists that Carlo Ancelotti might break that trend.
The esteemed Italian manager has enjoyed success-laden stints at renowned clubs such as AC Milan, Chelsea, and Real Madrid. However, his future remains uncertain.
The 64-year-old, whose contract at the Bernabeu concludes at the season's end, has been heavily linked with the Brazilian national team as well as various Saudi teams.
At a press conference on Friday, Ancelotti was asked whether he'd contemplate relocating to the Gulf state if presented with a comparable offer to that received by professional golfer Jon Rahm.
Rahm opted to depart the PGA Tour to join the Saudi-backed LIV tour after agreeing to a lucrative offer valued at €500m spread over four years.
"On foot. On foot. I'm walking, I don’t need to take a flight," joked Ancelotti. "I'm joking, everyone makes their choices."
"The world is changing. And it will change. It’s no surprise to anyone. Jon Rahm is very good. I’m not a golf expert, but Jon Rahm seems to me to be the best of all," he added.
He proceeded to deny that he had spoken to officials from any Saudi clubs.
"No, they have not called me and I live in the present. The present is very good," he added.
"I have another idea that is not that right now. I have never looked at money, because I grew up in a family in which money was not important. And the truth is that I have money.
"For me, the important thing is to feel good, it could be that one day I will feel good in Saudi Arabia, but for now, I feel good here."
