Carlo Ancelotti was in good form as he fielded questions on Friday; convivial and engaging as he looked forward to a positive future.
Like many managers, he has found press conferences via Zoom a bane and he wants to get back to a normal way of doing things.
'I look forward to seeing you all in here soon!' he said after revealing he would be happy to spend his summer break on Crosby beach. Ancelotti is in raptures about the part of Liverpool in which he lives and intends to be here for the long haul.
