Carlo Ancelotti could soon well be making a return to the Premier League but it appears the former Real Madrid manager is enjoying his spare time by linking up with Andrea Pirlo and Frank Lampard.
Ancelotti has been strongly linked with the Liverpool job to replace the under-pressure Brendan Rodgers - with the Reds enduring yet another disappointing start to the campaign.
But the Italian coach was in no mood to worry about the managerial speculation as he enjoyed a spot of dinner with his two former players.

The 56-year-old took to his Instagram account to post a photograph after posing for a snap with the MLS duo in Vancouver.
Ancelotti invited the pair to join him at his favourite restaurant, Cioppino’s Mediterranean Grill - where chef Pino Posteraro is a personal friend of the Italian.
Pirlo and Lampard are currently plying their trade in Major League Soccer with New York City but the pair are evidently still friends with their former coach.
Ancelotti coached former England international Lampard during his time with Chelsea between 2009-11 and together they won the Premier League and the FA Cup.
However, the Italian and midfield maestro Pirlo enjoyed much more success during their time with Serie A giants AC Milan.

Among the trophies they won together were the two Champions League successes, one Serie A title and one FIFA World Club Cup.
And if the photo is anything to go by, the two players are clearly still fond of their ex-coach as speculation over his future grows.
Having failed to secure Champions League football last season, Liverpool have endured another slow start to the season and are 13th in the league.
