Carlo Ancelotti

[COYBL25]

Kenwright's probably waxing lyrical about Everton in the 60's whilst Carlo holds the pen waiting to sign.

Kenwright will be down on his knees, asking him if there`s anyway that he can find room for Moyes in his backroom staff.

Major coup, what ever that means.

Size and stature- he ain't no High BMI Sam. But he's won loads and has the credentials. Up the toffees.

Some miserable sods on here. No wonder we haven't won anything in 20 odd years. That negative energy translates from fan to club to players. Stop it FFS!

*25 odd years

No he won't be on the soccer bus.

Yes he's signed the contract.

He arrives at his hotel tomorrow where he and his team will be staying for 4 weeks.

He will be in the stands on Saturday.

I really don't get this.. why would an official announcement happen after he's already spotted at Goodison? especially if he's 'already been appointed' anyway?

Haha, just wait and see mate.

Had some contractual things to tie up with Napoli - thus the club announcement on Twitter last week. We don't want another Watford episode.
I assume they don't want to take the match away from Duncan. He may even be presented on the pitch on Saturday, but all the media stuff is due to come out on Sunday.

If you have any doubts on whether Carlo Ancelotti is the right appointment for this club, I encourage you to read his book - Quiet Leadership (written just before his Bayern stint). He is everything Everton could want in a manager right now. I'll post some insights from the book -

* He's genuinely well liked by most of the players because he tries to build a personal relationship with all his players.
* His football style is to be in tune with the club's culture, president and fans expectations.
* He prefers 4-4-2.
* He speaks a number of languages including, Italian, English, Spanish (French?, German?)
* Sometimes he's viewed as 'soft' by owners, who expects him to be harsher on players, but he prefers to protect his players.
* He prefers a family style club (Parma, AC Milan) rather than the big business type clubs like (Juventus, Real Madrid).
* He was excited about PSG, because he was going to be looking at building things long term, but a few bad results in the second year, and then the president of PSG gave him an ultimatum of 'win or be sacked' before a game and that hurt the relationship.
* He ended up very successful at all his clubs, but was sacked pretty quickly in many of them except for AC Milan. Part of this is because imo, the owners wanted him to be stricter.
* He's managed literally more big names than anyone in football right now - Rivaldo, Shevchenko, Ronaldo, Pirlo, Bale, Modric

I can't believe anyone would say Everton is not the right job for Carlo Ancelotti, he would do just fine managing ANY team. I think he genuinely wants the Everton job, because he knows Everton gives their managers plenty of time if its the right thing to do, and nowhere in his book does he ever write about chasing championships, or only managing top clubs, or personal glory. He genuinely enjoys managing footballers, and I'm sure he looks at the Everton squad and likes the character of our team, our values and our culture and sees he can work with it. Pundits saying he needs talent or he can't be successful are dead wrong if they actually read his book, they might find that he gets the best out of players because that's what he's good at. That's what Everton need right now. He's going to pass on all that he's learnt at the top clubs and ingrain it into the club. With the current squad he's not going to win the prem this year or the next, but he's going to get Everton winning again.

You've made me feel warm inside. If it goes tits up, we're holding you personally responsible.
