Real Madrid have appointed former Chelsea boss, Carlo Ancelotti as the replacement for Zinedine Zidane.

Zidane left his post as Real Madrid coach last week after a season without any title but he has now been replaced by their former manager Ancelotti.

Ancelotti was in charge of Real Madrid when they won the La Decima in 2013-14 season but was sacked the next season.

Real Madrid released an official statement on their website to announce the return of Ancelotti to the club.

“Real Madrid C. F. announces that Carlo Ancelotti will be the new coach of the first team for the next three seasons,” the club stated.

“Tomorrow the protocol signing ceremony will take place together with President Florentino Pérez at Real Madrid City. Later, Carlo Ancelotti will appear at 6:00 p.m. before the media in a telematic press conference.”
