Defender Giovanni Di Lorenzo said ‘it’s a shame’ the season was interrupted when Napoli were in a positive moment. ‘We were doing well’.

The right-back arrived at the San Paolo ahead of the current campaign and has impressed under both Carlo Ancelotti and his successor Gennaro Gattuso, playing the most minutes of everyone in the squad – a feat that he finds ‘pleasing’.

Everton coach Carlo Ancelotti awaits the directions from the Premier League but claims ‘today’s players can physically recover in 15 days’.

Premier League has stopped due to the coronavirus outbreak, like most Leagues in Europe, and the former Napoli coach given his point of view in the debate of a possible resumption.

Carlo Ancelotti and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have named their all-time best XIs, with Jose Mourinho including just one Inter player in his.

While the football season remains on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, Marca listed the trio’s ideal line-ups. 

Ancelotti’s XI is based on players he has coached, prior to those he worked with at Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Napoli and Everton.

Everton coach Carlo Ancelotti predicts “downsizing” after the coronavirus pandemic and scoffs at the suggested preparation required to resume the season. “It’s a myth”.

Ancelotti left Italy in December, after being replaced at Napoli by Gennaro Gattuso and picked up a new project on Merseyside, helping Everton turn their season around during his first months in charge at Goodison Park.

Everton are linked with Napoli pair Allan and Kalidou Koulibaly, as Carlo Ancelotti allegedly looks to negotiate with his former boss Aurelio De Laurentiis.

The Italian tactician might make a swift return to Naples, but only to discuss possible transfer targets for his new side from Goodison Park.

After a turbulent season at the San Paolo, Allan looks set to leave this summer and Ancelotti, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport, eyes an opportunity for the Toffees to bring the Brazilian midfielder to Merseyside.

Carlo Ancelotti reveals Everton are “not really self-isolating at all” after one of their players developed Coronavirus symptoms and it was “about time” the Premier League was suspended.

The Premier League was finally forced into suspending its fixture list this weekend, but only after Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and several players in different clubs either tested positive for Coronavirus or showed symptoms of the illness.

Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton have announced that the team are under self-isolation as a “precautionary measure” after a first-team member “reported symptoms consistent with Coronavirus”.

The Toffees have been put in self-isolation after a member of their first team squad had reported symptoms related to the Coronavirus, but there’s currently no certainty of positivity to COVID-19 within the team.

Napoli defender Elseid Hysaj could renew his contract with the Partenopei, thanks in small part to Rino Gattuso’s arrival as coach.

Hysaj was a bit-part player under Carlo Ancelotti at the club, and it looked like a departure was imminent, with Roma interested in the player.

However Ancelotti was sacked in mid-December, and was replaced by Gattuso.

The Albania international’s contract expires at the end of next season, and Il Mattino believes that a renewal is now possible.

Roma midfielder Jordan Veretout’s agent confirms “Napoli asked for him in January and there was no time to really negotiate, but I wouldn’t rule out a summer move” with Everton also an option.

The former Fiorentina player only joined Roma in July 2019, on a €1m loan with obligation to buy for a further €16m.

“I know that (Napoli President Aurelio) De Laurentiis asked for Veretout in January, but there wasn’t the necessary time required to really develop a negotiation,” agent Mario Giuffredi told Radio Marte.
