Done deal : Napoli Appoint Anceloti as their new manager

Napoli have confirmed the appointment of Carlo Ancelotti as the club's new manager.

Ancelotti held talks with Napoli's president Aurelio De Laurentiis in Rome last week before replacing Mauricio Sarri, whose departure was confirmed on Wednesday.

The 58-year-old Italian has been out of management since he was sacked by Bayern Munich in September 2017, while his last job in Italian football was with AC Milan, who he left in 2009 to become Chelsea manager.

Sky Sports News understands Ancelotti, who signed a three-year deal with the Serie A runners-up, turned down several other offers including the Italy national team job to take control at Napoli.
