Ferguson stepped down at the end of last season and was replaced by David Moyes, who endured a horrendous season with the Red Devils and was eventually sacked in April.
Perez has now claimed that Moyes was not the first choice to replace his fellow Scot.
“Ferguson called him [Ancelotti] to be his successor but he told him he had already promised to come here with us,” the Madrid supremo stated.
Ancelotti, who previously coached Chelsea where he won the Premier League and the FA Cup with Chelsea, says he is not ready to quit at the Bernabeu yet, but would love to manage Italy in future.
“Coaching the your country’s national side is always a goal,” he told reporters.
“But I still want to be on the (training) field every day; I very much enjoy the daily relationship with the team.
“When I am no longer having fun … I’ll call the Italian Football Federation (FIGC). When (Cesare) Prandelli’s contract expires (in 2016).
