Real Madrid have announced Carlo Ancelotti as their new manager following the resignation of Zinedine Zidane last week.

This is the 61-year-old Italian's second stint at the Barnabeu, having managed the side for two years between 2013 and 2015.

"The ceremonial signing of the contract will take place tomorrow with club president Florentino Pérez at Real Madrid City," said a statement by Real Madrid.

Ancelotti joins from English side Everton, whom he led to a tenth-place finish.

"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," BBC quotes him to say following hi announcement.
