Carlo Ancelotti to Chelsea

According to The Sun, the Italian has told Chelsea he is ready to take over from Guus Hiddink in the summer. A contract worth around £5.8m a year has been discussed, and should be signed and sealed in June. His daughter Katya has been spending time at Chelsea HQ working on her PhD, which compares the media and marketing relations between Chelsea and Milan. Ancelotti, who has already said “I won’t manage Milan forever”, has quipped that she was “getting his office ready” while in England.

"Everyone knows that going to Anfield is like a hurricane. The atmosphere doesn't worry me, it excites me."
