Carlo Ancelotti ‘set for shock Real Madrid return’ – plus contenders to replace him as next Everton manager
Carlo Ancelotti has emerged as a surprise contender for the Real Madrid job following Zinedine Zidane’s departure according to widespread reports in Spain.
Antonio Conte and Mauricio Pochettino were both being widely tipped to succeed Zidane, but the Everton boss has now been identified by his former club as a prime candidate. The Athletic reports the move is a “done deal”.
Ancelotti won four honours with Real between 2013-15, including “La Decima” – the club’s historic 10th Champions League.
Zidane has been building on that success, but announced his resignation last week having led the club to their first trophyless season in 11 years.
In the intervening years since leaving Spain, Ancelotti had managed both Bayern Munich and Napoli, stints which both lasted under two years.
For a man who is forever keen to embrace a new project, however, it was still a shock to the Premier League when he took over at Everton in December 2019.
Guiding the Toffees to 10th in his first season, there was early talk of a title push in 2020-21 thanks to his reunion with former Real playmaker James Rodriguez and the form of Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Everton could not keep that momentum going and they eventually finished 10th again, a slump epitomised by a 5-0 thrashing at Manchester City on the final day of the season. By then, Rodriguez had already left for Colombia, citing tiredness.
Never in the club’s 143-year history had they lost so many games at home in one campaign. Despite the excitement surrounding Ancelotti’s appointment, Everton have seemingly not made tangible progress in terms of European qualification or trophies.
It would still represent a huge setback if they were to lose one of the world’s most decorated managers now.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, have been dealing with disappointments of their own, finishing second to city rivals Atletico in La Liga and exiting the Champions League at the semi-finals.
Who could take over at Everton?
Duncan Ferguson
Ferguson has been working as Ancelotti’s assistant but took temporary charge after Marco Silva was sacked just before Christmas in 2019. The Scotsman’s man-management has been crucial and he’s also worked wonders on the training ground, particularly with Calvert-Lewin.
Eddie Howe
Howe was widely expected to take the Celtic job, but talks collapsed last week. The 43-year-old has been out of work since leaving Bournemouth.
Nuno Espirito Santo
Few saw Nuno’s departure from Wolves coming and while there were question marks against his brand of football, the Portuguese’s early years were a roaring success, winning promotion and qualifying for the Europa League.
Rafael Benitez
Benitez is among the early favourites, but his history with Liverpool would make him a controversial appointment.

Sergio Aguero: Barcelona transfer looks like a coup – but it’s another indication of their chaotic strategy
Sergio Aguero flew almost immediately from Porto to Catalonia after his Manchester City swansong ended in a Champions League final defeat.
Barcelona have confirmed the striker has signed a two-year deal with a needlessly extravagant release clause of €100 million.
Of course, they are in the position of needing a new frontman because, a year ago, they deemed Luis Suarez – then 33 – too old. The answer, naturally, has been to replace him with a 32-year-old who made seven league starts in the 2020-21 season, and one whom Pep Guardiola often chose to bench while playing without a recognised striker.
Ronald Koeman’s side still scored considerably more goals than any other La Liga team this season, even if Lionel Messi was responsible for over a third of them.
Yet it’s easy to see why they wanted Aguero. Forwards do not come much more high-profile, he didn’t cost a penny, and his close friendship with Messi should go some way towards convincing the six-time Ballon d’Or winner to hang around a little while longer.
Throw in Barcelona’s considerable following in Argentina and they have seemingly struck gold. Ageing South American strikers are still capable of delivering titles, too – just ask Atletico Madrid.
Freshly elected club president Joan Laporta is right to prioritise free transfers given the serious financial plight in which Barcelona find themselves. If Erling Haaland was a pipe dream, Aguero was a realistic, attainable target.
Realism is key, too. Among the most sensational recent moves from England to Spain, Philippe Coutinho and Eden Hazard have both struggled.
Laporta is desperately trying to avoid repeating the mistakes of his predecessor, Josep Maria Bartomeu, whose tenure was defined by one haphazard signing after another. Aguero is no Paulinho or Kevin Prince-Boateng, granted.
A more flattering interpretation is that Barcelona have learned from their mistakes in letting Suarez go, one they have now rectified to some degree by adding a player in a similar mould.
They have conducted some shrewd business as well, re-signing Eric Garcia from City and close to agreeing terms with Georginio Wijnaldum following his departure from Liverpool.
How Barcelona could line up with Aguero
That could leave Koeman with an inspired line-up as he bids to improve upon this season’s third-placed finish, with Barcelona slipping out of the title race on the penultimate weekend of the campaign.
If they continue to operate with wing-backs and a three-man defence, Wijnaldum will slot into a two-man midfield alongside Frenkie de Jong, with Aguero flanked by Messi and Antoine Griezmann.

Protesters ‘evict’ Housing Minister Jenrick to challenge end of eviction ban
Campaigners “evicted” Housing Minister Robert Jenrick from his office to demand an the eviction ban is extended until the pandemic is over.
Forty tenants held a mock eviction hearing at the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG) in Whitehall ahead of the pandemic eviction ban protections drawing to a close, with activists holding simultaneous protests in Portsmouth, Southend, Hammersmith and Shipley.
The protections, introduced at the start of the pandemic, ensured that landlords could not evict tenants that had fallen into rental arrears or for other reasons, with court eviction dates required to be scheduled at least six months in advance to protect tenants. If a person has Covid or is self-isolating, however, bailiffs will not be allowed to enter their home.
Charities and campaigners have warned that thousands of renters will wake up on 1 June with “nowhere to go,” with “a perfect storm” brewing for one in 445,000 private renters that the housing charity Shelter said had been threatened with eviction by their landlord or letting agent, who cannot find suitable and affordable housing due to a decades-long shortage in properties.
Shelter warned that without any financial support, ending the ban could plunge thousands of people into homelessness. It says 17.5 million people are now impacted by what it is calling a housing emergency.
Campaigners from Momentum’s Eviction Resistance campaign are demanding an end to section 21 “no-fault” evictions; the cancellation of all pandemic rent debt; and the extension of the eviction ban until the pandemic is over.
Jordan Osserman, a Momentum member from Tower Hamlets who was served an eviction notice in 2020 by a billionaire landlord, said: “Our landlord tried to evict us because we organised with other tenants to ask for a rent reduction during the pandemic. This broken housing market leaves ordinary people at the mercy of literal billionaires. Renters need to organise together to demand fundamental change.”
Former Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell, who supported the action, said: “Even before the crisis, tenants were being crushed between high rents and low wages. The Covid crisis has only made the situation worse.
“Meanwhile, UK billionaires have increased their wealth by more than £237m a day since the pandemic began.
“Enough is enough – we have to defend working people against the greed of the mega landlords. We need transformative solutions, like banning no-fault evictions and cancelling all pandemic rent debt.”
Apsana Begum, Labour MP for Poplar and Limehouse, said: “The pandemic has hit renters incredibly hard. Now the Tories are letting vulnerable people be evicted during a pandemic in order to guarantee the profits of mega landlords.”
“The Government must take action to protect renters now. From banning ‘no-fault’ evictions to cancelling pandemic rent debt, there are immediate steps we could take to prevent renters from bearing the brunt of the crisis.”
An MHCLG spokesman said: “Our position remains that it is unacceptable for leaseholders to pay unaffordable costs in relation to historic safety defects in their buildings and we do not expect they will pay anywhere near these hypothetical maximum costs. We have also provided £1.6bn for the swift replacement of unsafe cladding on buildings over 18m.
“We are speeding up work with leaseholders and the financial sector to develop proposals that will further protect leaseholders from unaffordable remediation costs, without passing these costs on to taxpayers.
“This is in addition to the draft Building Safety Bill which outlines the most fundamental improvements to building safety in 40 years, making sure people will be safer in their homes.”

What time is the England squad announced? When to expect 26-man Euros line-up announcement and how to watch
Trent Alexander-Arnold and James Ward-Prowse are among the names expected to be omitted as Gareth Southgate announces his finalised England squad for Euro 2020.
The Three Lions head coach selected 33 players in a provisional squad last week but must cut at least seven names for Uefa’s deadline on Tuesday.
While Southgate was opposed to the decision to expand Euro 2020 squads from 23 to 26 players, it is expected he will use his full quota so as not to put England at a disadvantage.
Some head coaches have opted to start the Euros with a smaller team, most notably Luis Enrique, who left captain Sergio Ramos out of his 24-man Spain squad.
When is England’s squad announced?
Southgate is due to face the media at 6pm on Tuesday in a pre-match press conference for the warm-up against Austria.
It is expected the England squad will be announced before then via the team’s social media channels (Twitter, Facebook and YouTube) although the exact timing of the squad announcement has not been confirmed.
Uefa’s deadline for all Euro 2020 squads is at 11pm on Tuesday 1 June so Southgate will have to make up his mind by then.
The players at risk of missing out
Trent Alexander-Arnold could be a high-profile casualty as he was left out of the March internationals, with Reece James, Kieran Trippier and Kyle Walker all preferred.
Of the four, Walker is probably the most secure of his place given he has enjoyed an excellent domestic campaign with Manchester City and is able to play as part of a back three or back four. James has also been utilised as a right-sided centre back in a three-man defence for Chelsea recently which could boost his chances.
Southgate’s comments that training with the squad will be a “fantastic experience” for Ben Godfrey and Ben White suggests that they will have to work hard to secure a place in the final 26, or else rely on one of the other defenders to drop out.
It is likely to be a similar situation for Aaron Ramsdale, who was called up to the squad after Nick Pope was ruled out. Ramsdale endured a difficult campaign with Sheffield United and it would be a major surprise if he was picked with Jordan Pickford, Dean Henderson and Sam Johnstone ahead of him in the pecking order.
Southgate is a big fan of James Ward-Prowse, having worked with him previously in his role as England U21 manager, but the Southampton midfielder lacks the defensive qualities of his positional rivals, Declan Rice, Kalvin Phillips and Jordan Henderson.
Bukayo Saka‘s ability to play in a variety of positions in defence, midfield and attack, could count in his favour. Interestingly, though, he was listed as a forward on England’s official squad announcement and if that is where Southgate sees his best position, it may lead to him missing out as Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho are more experienced and Mason Greenwood in better form.
Ollie Watkins retained his place from Southgate’s previous squad and was picked ahead of Danny Ings and Patrick Bamford in the final 33. However, Dominic Calvert-Lewin appears to be Southgate’s favoured backup for Harry Kane and with Rashford, Greenwood and even Phil Foden able to play as a No 9, the Aston Villa forward could drop out.
