Andriy Shevchenko credits Carlo Ancelotti for inspiring him and others at Milan to become coaches and reveals ‘I learned many things from Jose Mourinho’.

While Shevchenko is currently Ukraine CT, Gennaro Gattuso recently won the Coppa Italia with Napoli, Cristian Brocchi has taken Monza into Serie B and Filippo Inzaghi will return Benevento to the top flight.

As well as all of them plus the likes of Clarence Seedorf, Massimo Oddo and Jaap Stam playing for Milan in the 2000s, they were also coached by Ancelotti.

Carlo Ancelotti has explained how Napoli fought to ensure Kalidou Koulibaly was not racially abused again. “If you challenge people, things can change.”

The world of football is taking a stand against racism, with players in the Premier League taking a knee before games and wearing ‘Black Lives Matter’ on the back of their shirts.

“Football has an important role to play in educating people,” Ancelotti told The Guardian. “Millions follow footballers, watch what they do, hear what they say.”

Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis claims the incident during the first half of the campaign is ‘just a bad memory’ after the Coppa Italia success.

The season started turbulent for the Partenopei, who struggled to pick up the required points to fight for a place among the top four in Serie A.

A retreat-non-retreat episode under Carlo Ancelotti split the San Paolo and the patron decided to hand out fines to the players who protested his decisions.

Carlo Ancelotti is seeking a reunion with Napoli midfielder Allan at Everton, it’s reported, but the €40m offer might not be enough.

According to the Daily Express and Calciomercato.it, the proposal on the table from the Toffees is worth in the region of €40m.

However, President Aurelio De Laurentiis is asking for at least €50m in order to release the Brazilian.

Paris Saint-Germain already tried and failed to sign Allan last year, then again in the January transfer window.

Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis has revealed he will sit down with Gennaro Gattuso in August to evaluate and possibly extend of his current deal.

Gattuso replaced Carlo Ancelotti in December and the President expected a longer transition period than the former midfielder needed at the San Paolo.

During a difficult first half of the season, De Laurentiis admitted he had immediately contacted Gattuso and told him to not go anywhere.

Napoli patron Aurelio De Laurentiis has accused Maurizio Sarri of ‘forcing’ him to change coach at the San Paolo and claimed Carlo Ancelotti was not the right man for the job.

The Partenopei overcame Inter in the semi-finals and will face the Maurizio Sarri’s Juventus in Rome on Wednesday, when Gennaro Gattuso and the former Azzurri coach clash in sight of their first trophy in Italy.

Everton have already opened talks to sign Milan-linked Thiago Silva on a free transfer, it is reported.

Silva will leave Paris Saint-Germain once the Champions League concludes this summer, his departure confirmed by sporting director Leonardo yesterday.

Milan were tipped to make a move for their former defender, but transfer expert Nicolo Schira warns Everton have taken an early lead.

Everton coach Carlo Ancelotti has claimed Moise Kean has the capacity to do well in the Premier League: “He is a great talent.”

The former Juventus forward moved to Goodison Park last summer but has struggled to settle in England, prompting rumours of a return to Italy after only one season in the England.

But Ancelotti, who was appointed by the Toffees in December, has claimed the 20-year-old will prove a success on Merseyside.
