If ever a club can come out of a string of managerial embarrassments smelling of roses, it’s surely by appointing Carlo Ancelotti.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Against all the odds, after the disasters of Roberto Martinez, Ronald Koeman and Marco Silva, that is seemingly the case for Everton, with reports<\/a> breaking earlier this week that the Italian has agreed a deal “in principle” to take the reins at Goodison Park.<\/p>\n

Ancelotti’s list of achievements is long and impressive and if the Toffees really do get their man, he would come with arguably the most impressive CV the club has ever known.<\/p>\n

Carlo Ancelotti to Everton? Five things you might have forgotten about Carletto…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Ancelotti’s first managerial trophy was the 1999 Intertoto Cup with Juventus.<\/li>\n
  • Since then, he’s become the only manager to win a trophy in each of Europe’s top five leagues.<\/li>\n
  • Ancelotti has won three Champions League titles as a manager, including Real Madrid’s ‘Decima’ in 2014.<\/li>\n
  • During a previous spell in England, Ancelotti won the Premier League<\/span> and FA Cup double with Chelsea<\/span>.<\/li>\n
  • The 60-year-old was recently sacked at\u00a0Napoli by controversial owner Aurelio De Laurentiis, despite going unbeaten in the Champions League group stages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
