Speaking to Gary Lineker on The Rest Is Football podcast, Carlo Ancelotti has talked about how he loved his time managing Everton in the Premier League at Goodison Park.
“I had a good feeling at Everton. I was really happy at Everton. Also, if we had different team difficulties, but I think the start of that season was really good for Everton,” said the former Blues boss.
“And I was happy at Everton, honestly. Good atmosphere, good training ground, good people. But I couldn’t say no to Real Madrid.”
Perhaps the greatest living manager, Ancelotti's sojourn with Everton was all too brief, but he was the last manager to propel an Everton side to the top of the Premier League on the back of five straight wins at the beginning of the 2020-21 season.
Ancelotti also brought the best out of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who went on to score an incredible 21 goals in all competitions that season.
