Topic: Carlo Ancelotti

[Black Bull Nova]

Lots of respect for him even after (god knows why) deciding to go manage Everton.

It seems our paths keep destined to intertwine but always on parallel verges.

Yes, it's been a good year for Carlo (as well as Marco Silva, Ronald Koeman, possibly Roberto Martinez and not forgetting Rafa's Bank manager)




He will go down as a football legend now, but moreso for doing well with so many different clubs, AC Milan were quite a special team though when we played them.

[ToneLa]

His travels around different clubs is why I have such a mark of respect for the fellow I lack for Guardiola

Plus Ancelotti's spell at Everton just seems more and more damning for Everton. Felt like reality was on ket for a bit back then

He's alright this Carlo. A management figure younger ones should aspire to emulate. You'd be a legend if you merely came close to what he's done so far

[Kopenhagen]

Always liked him. Hated when he went to Everton - couldn't be arsed with taking the piss out of him. Forget about his Chelsea spell.

[Armand9]

always liked the guy, class act

i dont have to like the clubs he managed to like the man and respect him

[Red Beret]

We have to stop him surpassing Sir Bob.

[AndyMuller]

He said he is an evertonian and playing us is a derby for him so on that note, hope we absolutely batter them!

You can just know for certain if we lost to them then Everton would basically take all the credit and have an open top bus tour around the city.

[RedInside]

Carlo managed to hoover this shite everton team around the 10th place, should tell you everything

[Persephone]

I bet deep down he really misses the deep conversations he had with Duncan Ferguson. I wouldn't be surprised if Carlo calls him up for advice on how to beat the Redshite.

That's why he asked Big Dunc to join his coaching staff at Real Madrid...apparantly 

It's amazing to think a manager of his quality was at little old Everton just last season

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

Credit to him, he knocked all three corrupted clubs out of UCL.

Yeah.. wasn't he the first (and maybe only) manager to have equalled Sir Bob's record of 3 EC titles?

His Everton stint is just really weird given his managerial history.

Think too many people are forgetting he totally bombed at Bayern and then Napoli back to back. His managerial star was definitely on the wane when he went to Everton and if not for Madrid basically having no other options whose to say what would have happened?

He replaced the fraud at Bayern right?

Yes. It didn't go well for him.

He wanted a well paid break from football.

So the Ev job is just a glorified paid vacation then

[So… Howard Philips]

I was thinking before that Carlo has been part of our history since 2005 showing great resilience in the face of adversity.

How he found the time to manage Everton whilst seeking the best investment options for the millions he was screwing from them shows the measure of the man.

Ancelotti was the first to equal it. Zidane has also equalled it while being the first to win 3 in a row.

Hopefully Klopp will only be 1 behind, with another few opportunities to join them on 3.

Thanks mate. Equalled, never bettered!

[Red Beret]

Only one coach should be surpassing Sir Bob, and that man is Jurgen Klopp.

Goes back even further, he was at Roma in 1984 but wasn't in the squad for the final.

For some reason I thought he'd been at Juventus the next year when they beat us, but he never played for them, also didn't know he'd won the European Cup as a player twice with AC Milan in 89 and 90. That's some record in this competition but he's had experience of losing finals before, let's hope he does so again in three weeks.

[darragh85]

went way down in my estimation after the derby last season. The way he sent his team out to play was an absolute disgrace. they didnt just decide themselves to approach the game that way. We definitely owe him one.

Ancelotti's "Napoli" style approach to the game, coupled with Everton's naturally violent tendencies towards us, made for a very distasteful encounter. Talk about a perfect storm.

Yes.
