Your support makes all the difference.Carlo Ancelotti has targeted Champions League football with Everton, who he described as “one of the greatest clubs in England”.
Everton appointed Ancelotti as their permanent new manager on Saturday and the 60-year-old Italian has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract.
“I’m excited to be here at one of the greatest clubs in England,” Ancelotti told evertontv in his first interview at the club.
“The ambition is for us to try to win and be competitive. The goal is there to reach the Champions League or Europa League. Winning honours has to be the dream for this club and for the supporters. I am here to try to do this.”
Ancelotti won the Premier League and FA Cup double at Chelsea in 2010 and is one of only three managers to win Europe’s elite competition on three occasions.
“Our goal is to be competitive in the Premier League, to be towards the top of the table, to be competitive in Europe,” Ancelotti added. “It’s not going to happen straight away, but we have to work for this.
“To Evertonians I would like to say, stay with the team as you always do because it’s really important for the players to have your support.
“I would like to work together with the supporters. My dream is to bring success to this club.”
