Everton Set to Confirm Appointment of Carlo Ancelotti<\/h2>\n

Experienced Manager<\/h3>\n

Carlo Ancelotti is a vastly experienced manager. As a result, he became Everton’s number one target after the sacking of Marco Silva.<\/p>\n

The Italian began his managerial career in Italy. He managed Reggiana, Parma and Juventus<\/a> before spending eight successful years at AC Milan<\/a>. Ancelotti won eight trophies in total with Milan, including two Champions League titles.<\/p>\n

Following his stint at AC Milan, he then moved to the Premier League, where he was appointed the manager of Chelsea<\/a>. Success continued to follow, as the 60-year-old won the double during his first season in charge at Stamford Bridge. However, he was sacked at the end of his second season in charge.<\/p>\n

Ancelotti then spent the next six years managing some of Europe’s top clubs. He had two-year stints at both Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> and Real Madrid<\/a>, before a spell at Bayern Munich<\/a> that lasted just over a year. He was successful at all three clubs and won two out of three retrospective league titles.<\/p>\n

Carlo Ancelotti is a Major Coup for Everton<\/h3>\n

Carlo Ancelotti is an impressive appointment for Everton. It signals a major statement of intent from the hierarchy at Goodison Park, and that the Italian is not put off by their current league position.<\/p>\n

The Toffees currently lie in 16th place in the Premier League, just three points above the relegation zone. Caretaker manager Duncan Ferguson has helped boost their position, collecting<\/a> four points from his two games in charge. As a result, Ancelotti may have been put off by this and may have waited for a chance with a top-half club.<\/p>\n
