He left in the summer of 2021 for a second spell in charge at Real Madrid but says he still has fond memories of being Everton manager. Speaking to TNT Sports, Ancelotti said: "I loved the period at Everton. "It was a difficult period because it was COVID there but I have a good memory of the environment there and I'm looking always to the result of Everton."
Carlo Ancelotti is one of the most important figures in modern football, and the former AC Milan coach and player is ingrained in the club's history. There are very few players or coaches who have dominated for generations; you may say Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as players, Pep Guardiola as a manager, but Ancelotti would also have to be in the conversation. As a manager, he has won five Champions League titles, five top-flight titles, and a host of other competitions, too.
"I'm very satisfied with the team's performance," said Ancelotti. "Obviously, if you have a strong base, with a solid defense, the individual quality in attack appears. "Rodrygo played a very good match, Estêvão too. In attack, the team has a lot of variety, a lot of offensive solutions, and today we took advantage of the individual quality of these players. "It was a complete team performance. I think we played very well with and without the ball. The team's commitment was very good. When the team has commitment in the game then the quality comes out and it came out very well today."
