Ancelotti appointed Chelsea boss

Former AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has been appointed Chelsea manager on a three-year deal.

The Italian left the Rossoneri on Sunday after guiding them to a third-place finish in Serie A.

He replaces Russian international coach Guus Hiddink who ended his stint at Stamford Bridge by clinching the FA Cup over the weekend.

"Carlo was the outstanding candidate for the job," read a statement on the Chelsea website.

More details and full reaction to follow.

Alot of Chelsea fans seem to be uncertain about this but im not sure why, probably because they are still hoping Hiddnk was gonna stay

Im pleased with this, obviously a good manager and reasonbly young aswell at 49

3 CL Finals in 8 years

Beckham states that he was the best manager he ever worked under - including SAF


And he actually speaks pretty good English

I'm still not convinced most Chelsea managers aren't given much of a chance. Hopefully he'll do well but the squad needs some younger players.

No doubt the squad needs younger players, im sure Ancelotti knows what to do tho, alot need to leave before players can be brought in tho

Couple of names ive seen that he's interested in

Sergio Aguero
Xabi Alonso
Frank Ribiery
Pirlo
Kaka
Adebayor

Quite a few possible team sheets could come from that list, and supposdly Zhirkov is a done deal, i cant see Kaka or Alonso coming, Pirlo would be a good addition but he's getting on a bit

Idealy id like to see the following squad

Goalkeepers

Cech
Assman
Hilario

Defenders

Terry
Cole
Bosingwa
Alex
Ivanovic
Mancienne

Def/Mid

Zhirkov

Midfield

Essien
Mikel
Lampard
Ballack
Joe Cole

Attacking mid

Ribery
Malouda

Strikers

Drogba
Aguero
Anelka



In

Assman - undisc
Zhrikov - 18 mil
Ribery - 40/45 mil
Aguero - 50 mil according to reports - perosnally think he could be signed for around 35

Out

Carvalho - 6mil
Paulo Ferreira - 1.5mil
Deco - 4 mil
Kalou - 10 mil

I'd like to see Aguero come in he's a fantastic player but also Karim Benzema a striker for Lyon would be a great additon although he has a £50m price tag i think.

David Villa would be a better shout for around 25 million - which today is a proper proper bargain

If they could get him for that price he would be a great signing.

no shock after he brought his contract out probably means Kaka will join them now

It really gets on my nerves that people are comparing him to Scolari. There is massive differences, the biggest one is Scolari was an international manager, he hadn't proved himself at a club, Ancelotti has been one of the most successful managers in Europe.

im not sure tbh, ancelotti did rely on the oldies in his time at milan, and with ballack signing a new contract, i can see the likes of deco and ferreira staying

That's always been Milan's way though, always liked the Grandad's.

The likes of Maldini, Weah, Fiori were all there before Ancelotti came in. Always seemed to have favoured the old boys.
