Football: Ancelotti returns to Real for second spell as coach

MADRID: Carlo Ancelotti returned to Real Madrid for a second spell as coach on Tuesday , re-joining the club from Everton, after agreeing a three-year deal at the Bernabeu.

Ancelotti has one of the most-decorated CVs in world football and won the Champions League with Real in 2014, helping the Spaniards to their fabled 'Decima' European crown, before being sacked 12 months later. His honours list includes league titles in four different countries at Milan, Chelsea, Paris St Germain and Bayern Munich over a 26-year managerial career."Carlo Ancelotti will be the new first team coach for the next three seasons," a brief Real Madrid statement read.The move comes following Zidane's decision to step down five days after his team were pipped to the La Liga title by city rivals Atletico Madrid.

Ancelotti was considered something of a coup when Everton announced his appointment on a four-and-a-half year contract in December 2019, and he guided the club to a 12th-place Premier League finish in his first season.
