“One of the most successful managers in world football, having won 20 trophies including league titles in four different countries and the Champions League three times, Ancelotti has agreed on a four-and-a-half-year deal that runs until the end of the 2023/24 season,” the club announced on their website on Saturday.

The Italian coach was sacked by Napoli earlier this month.
