In a similar manner to the start of his Chelsea managerial career, Carlo Ancelotti says that his former club AC Milan after taking over at PSG. The friendly, which is taking place in the Middle East, will provide the perfect opportunity for the former Chelsea and AC Milan manager to assess this team ahead of the second phase of the campaign.
PSG are expected to make a number of huge signings in the January transfer window and are already being linked with the likes of AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato. Clarence Seedorf had the opportunity to meet his former coach, with whom he has had a lot of success.
Clarence Seedorf is an unique case in that he has come the only player to lift the Champions League with three different clubs – Real Madrid, Ajax, and AC Milan. Carlo Ancelotti was at AC Milan during this historic event and the Dutchman has paid tribute to the current PSG manager. Carlo Ancelotti took over at PSG after lengthy negotiations and has signed a contract worth around £ 6 million per year. Clarence Seedorf has said that he is extremely confident that Carlo Ancelotti will prove to be a great success at PSG just as he did with Chelsea.
“He’s proved his worth over the years. I just hope they receive him well. I know there was a dilemma at PSG with them sitting first in France’s Ligue One and still sacking their coach [Antoine Kombouare]. But I just hope he doesn’t suffer that, because if he has the time I think he will do great there,” Clarence Seedorf said on the occasion of meeting his former coach. In his first season with Chelsea, Carlo Ancelotti won the double. French team PSG are currently leading the table, although they have been knocked out of the Champions League.
