It’s expected that Carlo Ancelotti will be announced as Napoli Coach on June 1, once Maurizio Sarri’s situation is resolved.
The former Milan boss has agreed to take over at the San Paolo, having been sacked by Bayern Munich earlier this season.
According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Ancelotti has now signed a two-year contract with an option for a third, worth around €6.5m per season.
It’s expected that Carlo Ancelotti will be announced as Napoli Coach on June 1, once Maurizio Sarri’s situation is resolved.
The former Milan boss has agreed to take over at the San Paolo, having been sacked by Bayern Munich earlier this season.
According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Ancelotti has now signed a two-year contract with an option for a third, worth around €6.5m per season.
His staff will be his son Davide, son-in-law Mino Fulco, fitness coach Giovanni Mauri and his son Francesco.
The contract will start on June 1, and there will be no official announcement until then, because Sarri has an €8m release clause which is valid until the end of this month.
President Aurelio De Laurentiis plans to use that money to pay Carletto and his staff for the first season, having actually signed a pre-agreement with Ancelotti around three weeks ago.
Sarri will therefore not be sacked, though the club has a clause which would allow that for a fee of €500,000 before June.
The current Coach is wanted by Zenit St Petersburg, while Chelsea have also been linked.
