The fact is that Ancelotti did not succeed at Everton. A tenth place is not exactly impressive - especially if you are considered one of the best managers of all time. Personally, I have followed him since he was in Parma, and I would say he is one of the most overrated managers of all time. But that is another debate.
Still, I was curious about what he would achieve at Everton. Finally, he was supposed to be something other than a galleon figure, and actually had to deal with the reality that most managers do. To be honest, I thought it would get worse, but it was not very impressive of a man who likes to compare himself with the greatest managers of all time.
The results came mostly through playing a bad variant of Catenaccio, and were not particularly creative or impressive. It was also not surprising to us who have followed him for a while.
When he now has the opportunity to return to Madrid, and once again become a galleon figure for a period, I wish him all the best. He will probably get this season before he is fired again. Madrid supporters have probably already found their white scarves, and it's just a matter of time.
Some here believe that Ancelotti is being hired because of his managerial skills, but that is quite far from the truth. This is a political and commercial appointment, and which will help Real Madrid avoid criticism and critical questions while stabilizing its economy. Everton FC will move on and I am sure this is the best thing for the club.
