He coached the Merseyside team for 18 months from December 2019, but left in the summer of 2021.
Ancelotti told reporters this week: "I called to see if I could sign players for Everton and asked if they already had a coach.
"I said they had to sign the best for Madrid. And I said they had forgotten about 2014."
Ancelotti admitted at the time that it was only Real that could have gotten him to break his contract with Everton.
