That's genuinely one of the worst football puns that I've ever seen.
Carlo Ancelotti: Everton manager
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
Even though Ancelotti's star has faded somewhat recently, this is still a pretty bizarre move. It's like Robert DeNiro turning up in fecking Brookside.
Ancetoffee, good work.
I thought the hashtag would be a dead giveaway.
Or a bagel ad...…….
Didn't Chelsea sack him in the tunnel at Goodison ? He's spiritually connected to the club now.
He's going to fail spectacularly
Everton has some very good players that Carlo can base his starting 11 on it, but they surely has some urgent needs on their squad. Still a top 6 squad wise.
On paper, this is a coup. Not convinced he's what they need.
I don't think this is gonna work out at all. My feeling is he'll do well for a year then down tools until they pay him his monster severance package. Just as Koeman did previously with Everton. Just as Conte did at Chelsea. Just as Sarri did at Chelsea.
What are you doing Ancelotti
Get some money before retirement, getting worse and worse:
from milan, real Madrid, Chelsea, psg, Bayern to Napoli, to Everton
Next? Parma? Greece national football team?
They can afford him. It seems more of a case of they want Arteta.
More like - Everton can offer an actual transfer budget and arsenal can't.
Arsenal has more money than Everton, especially with the FFP rules.
Hahahahaha!
Very realistic pathway to be honest. Possibly like a weird international team to finish, Saudi Arabia, UAE, China, that sort of thing.

Holy shit.
Will be excellent to welcome him back to The Bridge.
Ancelotti at Everton? What the feck is happening in football 
Has his stock fallen or something? He must be out of his mind.
The feck is happening...
4.5 years contract? Well, it will at least be a nice severance fee within 12 months probably...
Worst kept secret
Doubt he has even heard of Everton until his stint at Chelsea. Will be interesting to see him today against another former Everton favourite
Football .. wtfIt's a cute signing but I doubt Ancelotti will do anything of significant note with Everton. Which would be a waste of the wage money they'll be paying him.
Super stoked about it! I want all our rivals to have the best options and then beat them one by one.. that's what Premier League is about.
It's Ferguson vs Ljungberg for this one.
Is this the first such game in PL history where both managers are making way for the new guy afterwards?
that’s it for neutrals, really... if everton can rise to a noisy neighbours position with carlo and the new rich owner, it will further increase competition and benefit the pl as a whole
Everton has a better manager than United, Chelsea and Arsenal. What a world that we live in..
Its the appointment Arsenal should have made while the low key appointment Arsenal made is what you would expect from Everton.
Be interesting to see how he does, the Merseyside derbies should be less of formality now.

Good to see Mr eyebrow back in the PL.
I do think he'll struggle at Everton though. The players he has at his disposal are seriously inferior to those at Napoli, and the players he had a Napoli were seriously inferior to those at Bayern, PSG, Milan, Real and Chelsea.

Better isn’t the right term. More experienced, yeah, but better for what each team needs? Nah. I’m still not 100% on board with Ole but I would not want him replaced by Ancelotti.
His 9th club in 13 seasons outside the long stint he had at Milan.
He's got a rebuilding job to do. Not sure he's the right man.
The squad seems quite good to me and suited for carlo’s trademark 4-2-3-1? Potential is high, they just needed a really good coach. If one, they might add to their midfield in January while selling one or two misfiring forwards imho.
Me neither.
Ancelotti seems great at managing superstar players and getting the best out of them. But he's totally unproven as a squad-builder and a guy who lays foundations.
So he may be suited to PSG or Madrid but he's a bad fit for United and an even worse one for Everton.
money. So much cash in the PL. Everton will be paying more than he could get elsewhere, excluding the likes of Real, Bayern,PSG, Utd etc.
