It’s unlikely many Everton fans will be disappointed in securing Carlo Ancelotti as their new manager, rather than David Moyes.

Moyes is more than capable of lifting the club to a more respectable position in the Premier League table and for those worried, he’s only been handed an 18-month contract if things don’t go as planned.
