West Ham are seeking a new manager after deciding not to renew David Moyes’ contract.
Ancelotti was one of the candidates supposedly on the Hammers’ interview list, while Arsenal have also been linked with the 58-year-old.
But the former Chelsea boss looks unlikely to take up the post at London Stadium.
According to calcionapoli24, Ancelotti is house hunting in Naples and is closing in on the Napoli job.
Maurizio Sarri is tipped to leave Napoli, with Chelsea supposedly an option.

And should Ancelotti take up the position in Italy’s third-biggest city, then West Ham will have to continue their search elsewhere.
Talks with Shakhtar Donetsk boss Paulo Fonseca have already taken place in east London, while Express Sport understands Sean Dyche is under consideration.
West Ham decided to end their relationship with Moyes and his backroom staff today, having held talks on Monday over their next move.
Moyes had taken over as interim boss in November with West Ham languishing in the relegation zone.
But the former Everton and Manchester United boss successfully saw about a resurgence to see the Hammers to safety.
