Redman Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I didn't want to say this earlier but I don't think Ancelotti was the right man anyway. Different managers operate better at different levels of the table, don't they? e.g. Roy Hodgson is the man to take you from bottom-6 to mid-table and Carlo is the man to take you from top-4 to title-contention. Villa need somebody in-between. Like Moyes or Jol. Maybe Hughes. Og come on, like you didnt want Ancelotti? Cut the crap... As an outsider, it would have been fascinating. And if it worked out, it could have fast-tracked you towards the big-time. But I just don't think the chances of it working out were that great. He was ideal for Chelsea who had a strong, mature squad that just needed finessing. But Villa have a weak, young squad that needs quite a lot of rebuilding, in my opinion. Could have been risky asking Carlo to do that job in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danwichmann Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed he will take a one-year sabbatical from coaching after being dismissed by Chelsea last month. The Italian tactician had one year left on his contract with the Blues but was sacked on the final day of the campaign after two seasons in charge. Ancelotti has been linked with the coaching position of newly-promoted QPR, who are managed by Neil Warnock, as well as the vacancies at Fulham and Aston Villa. He has also been a reported target of Serie A club Roma, for whom he enjoyed great success as a player. "I am in no hurry to coach and I don't need to," Ancelotti told Italian newspaper La Stampa. "I have not been contacted by any club in England and I have not spoken to Roma. It is all fantasy. "I have enjoyed this experience (of coaching in England). I will return to London to organise my life. "Besides a six-month break, I have been coaching non-stop since 1995. I will take a year off and look around, study how my colleagues work." Ancelotti enjoyed a successful playing career at Roma between 1979 and 1987 and has never hidden his wish to guide the capital city club in the future. "I have always said and I reiterate it that one day I will coach Roma, but it's still early," he said. Ancelotti led Chelsea to the Premier League and FA Cup double in his first season in charge but finished trophyless at the end of the 2010-11 campaign.

VillaRoy Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Are these 100% new quotes? We know what the press are like for rehashing old shite. Like they did with Moyes last week! Yeah they are taken from this Italian article written today. Ancelotti is quoted in Turin-based La Stampa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moorski Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I reckon that Ancelotti has the Spurs job and just has to wait for Harry to move onto England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redman Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 On the plus side (for you lot), The Telegraph were wrong to claim Carlo had been contacted. Which means they might be wrong about Shteeve too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Well I have to admit I would have gotten all excited had he come, but (and check my previous posts) I did have more than one or two nagging doubts about him… mostly over his far from impressive record with top clubs (UCL successes aside). For me I have always had Moyes in mind as the best outcome. People will point to a lack of trophies, but success is all relative to the club you’re at, consistent top half finishes on a small budget (often coming ahead of us in the MON era) is a better achievement than a handful of trophies in 15 to 20 years at top top clubs. I only hope that Yankee in Madrid’s news the other night proves to be true and we get him in. Any news on this since the other night YIM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
