Former Chelsea, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain boss Carlo Ancelotti named new Napoli head coach
Napoli have confirmed the appointment of former Chelsea, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain boss Carlo Ancelotti as their new head coach.
The 58-year-old has been out of a job since departing Bayern Munich in September last year but will now return to the dugout in the 2018/19 campaign with the Serie A giants.
“I am really happy and honoured to manage a team with a unique city and incredible fans,” said Ancelotti, as quoted by BBC Sport.
Ancelotti will now be tasked with toppling Juventus as the powerhouses of Italian football, with the Old Lady having clinched a seventh successive Scudetto this term, with Napoli finishing runners-up.
Earlier on Wednesday, Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis praised Sarri for his contribution to the club.
De Laurentiis said: “I thank Maurizio Sarri for his dedication to Napoli that has given the city and the fans worldwide prestige and emotions.
“He created a model of play admired everywhere and by anyone. Bravo Maurizio.”
