One of the best European coaches of all time Carlo Ancelotti returns to English football.
Liverpool's "Everton" officially confirmed that they have signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with the 60-year-old football specialist. He will start managing the team after today's match against London's "Arsenal".
The Italian will lead "Everton" on Thursday when the team faces "Burnley". He will watch today's match from the stands of the "Goodison Park" stadium.
"This is a great club," said C. Ancelotti in his first interview. "The owners and the entire management have a clear idea - they want to create a successful team capable of winning titles. As a coach, I can't wait to contribute to this project."
A few weeks ago, the Italian was managing the "Napoli" team, but due to extremely complicated relations with the club's president, he was relieved of his coaching duties.
C. Ancelotti is no stranger to English football - he coached London's "Chelsea" team from 2009 to 2011, winning the Premier League title in his debut season.
Throughout his career, the strategist has also managed teams such as "Milan", PSG, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich.
