I haven't heard of it, so if there is a competition of that kind it can't be doing that well!

Jamie Carragher meets Carlo Ancelotti: 'I'm not here for one last payday – I'm going to take Everton into the Champions League'

Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti welcomes Jamie Carragher to the Finch Farm training ground
My allegiance to Everton ended over 25 years ago, but there is a moment during an hour with Carlo Ancelotti when the heart of the schoolboy within me beats faster.
“Next season we have to qualify for the Champions League,” Ancelotti tells me. “I am here for this.”
I pause. I have not heard an Everton manager speak like this since I stood on the Gwladys Street.
“Is that really possible given the strength of the competition?” I ask.
“I am sure this club has that ambition,” he insists.
“The owner wants to be at the top. That is for sure. The idea is clear. I do not know how long it will take, but it will not take long. The spine of the squad is competitive. I do not know what the target will be this season, but next season we have to fight for the top four.”
I tell Ancelotti how invigorating it will be for fans to hear a coach of his calibre talk so boldly.
“Do you realise how many Evertonians loved seeing you get sent off at the end of the game against Manchester United last week?” I ask.
Ancelotti sounds surprised.
“You think the fans like it because I got the red card? That is why they clapped me?”
“Yes. They want to feel the manager is out there fighting for them,” I reply, sensing an opportunity to ask the most blunt question.
“When it was first said Carlo Ancelotti might come to Everton, people said you must only be coming for a final payday.”
He laughs.
“No, no, no. Fortunately, I do not need the money,” he says.
“I see Everton like I saw Napoli. It was fantastic to be in Milan, Madrid and Munich, but sometimes you get the possibility to grow a good project. We have young players with quality – players like Richarlison, [Dominic] Calvert-Lewin, [Mason] Holgate and [Lucas] Digne. The base of the team is good. Holgate signed a new contract and Dominic is going to [later confirmed on Friday evening]. We have a spine and want to improve the squad in the summer.”
Ancelotti has spent his decorated career in Europe’s most exotic cities – Rome, Milan, Paris and Madrid. Today, in the office at Everton’s Finch Farm training ground he already calls home, he could be mistaken as a spokesman for Merseyside tourism.
