Seems I'm going against the grain but Ancelotti is the not the man we need right now.

We need a manger that continues the fight, until it is ingrained.
In the meantime class must be infused into the ranks.

This squad has had the class squeezed out of it.
We got a reminder of what that is tonight...it must be frustrating for the Baines boy, in more ways than one.
It must be frustrating for him to see Davies, near the end, to not have the ability, the skill, the vision other than to send a pass to a teamate that was 3v1 to Leicester. Its not the football he used to play.

We don't need Carlo, we need Dunc to continue to pull us out of the mire until the end of the season,
then find a coach who can play a 442, get the class, and work it from there.

Timing is all important. This is not the time for a so called world class manager.
This reeks of more Moshiri attempts at instant gratification...Everton should not be his tool to play with.
 

Exactly - clowns thinking he is going to turn a job down based on tonight wtf lol
I think maybe, he has seen a worse Everton than that already!

Ancelotti will take this team apart and build a new one, thats why he is employed. Not to put another band aid on.
 
Imagine having a stellar career managing the likes of Maldini and Nesta and walking into a training session on your first day watching Michael Keane.

I hope he can quickly establish who the deadbeat players are in our squad and can quickly oust them as far away from this football club as possible. Michael Keane being number 1 on his list.
 


Carlo Ancelotti’s appointment at Everton is expected to be completed this week, with the Italian still finalising the details of his departure from Napoli last week, having agreed terms with his new club in preparation to get started as soon as possible.

Ancelotti returned to Italy from London yesterday with talks completed, the terms of his Everton contract agreed and with an announcement expected over the next two days.

The club’s caretaker manager, Duncan Ferguson, took charge of the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Leicester City last night and he may well be called upon to do one more game, in his interim role, at home to Arsenal on Saturday, before handing over the reins.

In that scenario, Ancelotti is likely to start work as Everton manager on Monday, with his first game at home to Burnley on Boxing Day.

He has already met senior figures at the club and has agreed his staff list. That is likely to include his son Davide, fitness trainer and coach Francesco Mauri and Ancelotti’s son-in-law, nutritionist Mino Fulco, who has worked with him at previous clubs Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Napoli.

The negotiations with Napoli are not expected to pose a major obstacle to Ancelotti’s appointment by the end of the week. He has already been replaced at the club by Gennaro Gattuso, who lost his first game in charge against Parma at the weekend.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has retained a good relationship with Ancelotti despite the latter’s dismissal, saying at the club’s recent Christmas party that he first met Gattuso at a birthday party for his predecessor.

Ancelottihas been given assurances that he will be able to make changes to his squad in the next transfer windows and that Everton’s owner, Farhad Moshiri, continues to have ambitions of breaking into the top six. Ancelotti is expected to sign a contract until 2024.

Carlo Ancelotti will become Everton’s next manager after agreeing to take over at Goodison Park, being handed £11.5million-a-season in basic wages. The Italian has been identified by majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri as the man to steady the ship and get Everton’s hopes of becoming a fixture in the top six back on track.

The Toffees currently languish just three points above the Premier League relegation zone and found themselves in the bottom three at the time Marco Silva was sacked earlier this month.

The Portuguese left after 18 months in charge with just four wins in 15 top-flight games and nine losses, with interim manager Duncan Ferguson coming in to lead them to a win over Chelsea and a draw away at Manchester United.

With the Scot on the touchline, Everton were beaten in a penalty shootout by Leicester City in the Carabao Cup semi-finals on Wednesday night after having come from 2-0 down and scored a stoppage-time equaliser.

The Daily Mirror suggest that Ferguson’s stint at the helm is however set to come to an end with Ancelotti having penned a three-and-a-half year deal worth a massive £11.5m per year.

Ferguson will remain on the touchline for the Merseyside club on Saturday when Arsenal visit Goodison, although Ancelotti could be confirmed as the new manager by then and is likely to be in attendance in the stands.

The 60-year-old - a three-time Champions League-winning manager who has won titles in four different countries - will then take over by Boxing Day for the visit of Burnley.

Ancelotti’s wages, on a contract lasting until June 2023, will make him the joint-fourth highest-paid manager in world football, alongside Rafael Benitez who earns the same amount a year at Dalian Yifang in China.

The only three higher paid coaches are Diego Simeone, who pockets £13m a year at Atletico Madrid and Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola, who rake in £15m and £20m at Tottenham and Manchester City respectively.

Ancelotti’s earnings will be £3.5m-a-year more than Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp while Ancelotti’s predecessor Marco Silva was thought to earn around £3m annually.

He was only sacked by Napoli last week, where he earned around £5m (€6m), after having overseen a run of eight games without a win across all competitions before a 4-0 Champions League win over Genk.

The veteran coach was relieved of his duties just hours after that match with the Serie A club having been embroiled by off-pitch issues this term.

Everton were quick to make contact and held face-to-face negotiations with Ancelotti on Tuesday in London this week, promising that he will be fully backed in the transfer market.

The Blues cannot officially announce his appointment until he agrees a severance package with Napoli, amid suggestions the Premier League side would have to pay the Italian club a fee if they wanted to do so before Ancelotti sits down with Aurelio De Laurentiis.

Sky Sports pundit and Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has however warned Everton fans not to get too starry-eyed over ex-Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich boss Ancelotti.
