Carlo Ancelotti leaves Everton for Real Madrid return
Carlo Ancelotti has left Everton to become head coach of Real Madrid for a second time.
The 61-year-old, who managed Real Madrid for two years between 2013 and 2015, has left Everton after 18 months in charge at Goodison Park.
He succeeds Zinedine Zidane at Real and the move leaves Everton searching for a sixth permanent manager in five years.
Ancelotti thanked Everton's staff and fan and said the move represented "an unexpected opportunity".
"I would like to thank the board of directors, the players, and the Evertonians for the tremendous support they have all given me during my time at the club," he added.
"I have complete respect for everyone associated with Everton and hope they can achieve the exciting opportunities they have in front of them.
"While I have enjoyed being at Everton I have been presented with an unexpected opportunity which I believe is the right move for me and my family at this time."
