Carlo Ancelotti has returned to Real Madrid for a second spell as coach, rejoining the club from Everton, both teams announced on Tuesday. The Italian, who was previously in charge of Real between 2013 and 2015, has agreed a three-year deal at the Bernabeu. He replaces Zinedine Zidane, who left Real last month. Ancelotti had been in charge at Goodison Park since December 2019, leading Everton to a 10th-placed finish in the Premier League last season. “Carlo Ancelotti will be the new first-team coach for the next three seasons,“ a brief Real Madrid statement read.
