3 reasons why Napoli appointed Carlo Ancelotti 

#2 Napoli's European dream

Could Ancelotti guide the club to a European title?

While Napoli doesn’t have the same financial might as Juventus, Inter, Milan or Roma, Ancelotti will be capable of utilising his name and successful coaching legacy to attract more talent. Introducing more quality to the Azzurri’s squad and bench will act as a benefit to the club’s rotational system.

Ancelotti’s past teams have played beautiful football, but have also been capable of playing a balanced style of attack and defence that helped claim a number of trophies.

The challenges that now confront Ancelotti seem to be how generous De Laurentiis will be with his wallet, and how quickly the Napoli players can adapt to the new manager’s playing style. The former PSG coach is known to be tactically flexible, meaning that he could maintain Napoli’s regular 4-3-3 formation and allow the players to have more freedom in their desired positions.

While the first concern will be to break Juve's league run, a Champions League run-in cannot be ruled out as well for the club, who look settled and sharp, heading into the next season under the new manager.
