Carlo Ancelotti has sealed a sensational return to Real Madrid, leaving his post as Everton manager after only one full season at Goodison Park.
Ancelotti managed Real from 2013 to 2015, leading them to their 10th European Cup triumph against Atletico Madrid in Lisbon in 2014.
Now the 61-year-old has taken over for a second spell after Zinedine Zidane’s own second tenure came to an end last week. Ancelotti quits Goodison Park after leading the Toffees to an underwhelming 10th place finish in the 2020-21 campaign.
Spanish paper Marca reported broke the news earlier on Tuesday that Ancelotti is ‘the chosen one’ for the Spanish giants and on the brink of a dramatic return to LaLiga.
And hours later, the deal was done with wages no issue for Ancelotti on what has been a whirlwind day in both the Spanish capital and at Finch Farm, Everton’s training base.
The Italian Ancelotti left Real six years ago on good terms with president Florentino Perez and the club’s hierarchy and the door was always open for a return.
