Real president Florentino Perez also held a media conference to deny claims the Italian was due to be sacked..

Ancelotti said: "The president has done something positive by denying information that was not correct.

"He has always supported me, whether or not the games turn out well. I am also grateful to Del Bosque for what he said. I want to stay here, I am very happy and have no problems. I have a contract until June 2016 and we have time."
