Carlo Ancelotti would be "pleased from a professional point of view" if he was part of Arsenal's plans in their search to find Arsene Wenger's replacement.
Frenchman Wenger surprisingly announced on Friday that he will leave the Gunners at the end of the season after nearly 22 years in charge.
Chief executive Ivan Gazidis revealed at a press conference how Arsenal plan to "find a new path forward", with Ancelotti one of the names linked with the impending vacancy.
"The Gunners know their own future, if their plans involve me then I'm pleased from a professional point of view, but at the moment there's nothing else," the former Chelsea boss said at the Match For Solidarity in Geneva.
"My future depends on the chances and projects presented to me, it's not only up to me.
"I have no time to think other things. And after tomorrow, after the game I can think about my future. But the future of the manager doesn't depend on the manager. Because I can say 'I would like to work again,' but that doesn't depend on me.
"If I find the right possibility, the right project, I will be delighted to continue. But, as I said, I am really concentrating on the game tomorrow."
"I think that it's a great decision," he added.
"I think it's the decision for Wenger with a lot of respect for the club and also I think the club has shown a lot of respect because he's done a fantastic job and he's doing a fantastic job with Arsenal because he is in the semi-final of the Europa League.
"So, great respect and great honour to Arsene."
To the man who gave me my chance as a 16 year old, and showed unbeliveable faith and commitment towards me. Always a gentleman, like a father through tough times in my career. He always believed in me when most people didn't. Thank you for everything boss! It's down to us no… April 20, 2018
