Carlo Ancelotti's return to Real Madrid is DONE! Everton's manager QUITS for the Bernabeu in whirlwind day on Merseyside, with Nuno Espirito Santo and DAVID MOYES in the running to replace him

Carlo Ancelotti has sealed a sensational return to Real Madrid, leaving his post as Everton manager after only one full season at Goodison Park.

Ancelotti managed Real from 2013 to 2015, leading them to their 10th European Cup triumph against Atletico Madrid in Lisbon in 2014.

Now the 61-year-old has taken over for a second spell after Zinedine Zidane's own second tenure came to an end last week. Ancelotti quits Goodison Park after leading the Toffees to an underwhelming 10th place finish in the 2020-21 campaign.

Spanish paper Marca reported earlier on Tuesday that Ancelotti is 'the chosen one' for the Spanish giants and Sportsmail understands that his return will be made official very soon in what has been a whirlwind day in both the Spanish capital and at Finch Farm.
