Real Madrid Club de Futbol have announced 54-year-old Carlo Ancelotti as their new manager after he left Paris Saint-Germain. Madrid have been seeking a new boss after Jose Mourinho's departure for his former club Chelsea last month, and Ancelotti had made it clear to PSG he was keen to join the Spanish giants.
A statement from Madrid read: "Carlo Michelangelo Ancelotti will coach Real Madrid next season. The Italian has experienced success in every country where he has managed and arrives in the Spanish capital after being named coach of the season in France."
Ancelotti, who has previously managed the likes of Juventus and AC Milan, took over at PSG at the end of 2011 and he led the affluent side to the Ligue 1 title last season. Ancelotti's first task after being presented will likely be to clarify the role to now be played at the club by his former playing charge Zinedine Zidane, who president Florentino Perez first suggested would have overall control of football matters in a director of football role, but has more recently said would have a more hands-on position as a coach on the training ground.
The Italian has signed a three year deal at the Santiago Bernabeu after extensive discussions with president of the club, Florentino Perez. His successor at PSG will be Frenchman Laurent Blanc who has signed a two year contract and already had his official unveiling at Parc de Princes. The 47-year-old took his first coaching job with Les Girondins de Bordeaux and his entertaining attack-minded style of play took them to the Ligue 1 title in 2009. In 2010 he took over the reins of the France national team, leading Les Bleus to the quarter-finals of Euro 2012.
