Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has admitted that he would like to see under-fire Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti return to the Premier League this summer.

The former Chelsea manager's future in Madrid was thrown into doubt last night when the Spanish giants were eliminated from the Champions League by Juventus.

The Blancos seem poised to endure a trophiless season as Liga leaders Barcelona - whom Juve meet in the final - sit four points ahead with two games left, prompting speculation over Ancelotti's job.

Manchester City are among those reportedly keen, and Henry admits that he would love to see the 55-year-old back in England if he and Real part company.

"We would be happy to see him in the Premier League," he told Sky Sports News. "He's a great manager and a great guy.

"This is Real Madrid, if you don't deliver every year, you have to go. That's just how it is."

Ancelotti, who has also coached Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan, led Chelsea to a Premier League and FA Cup double in the 2009-10 campaign - his first season in charge.
