Carlo Ancelotti

From James Down:

I saw Ancelotti had been appointed, and was sure I'd heard the quotes somewhere before. Just made me chuckle.

2008 - Scolari is appointed by Chelsea
"He is one of the world's top coaches with a record of success at country and club level," read a Chelsea statement. Scolari gets the best out of a talented squad of players and his ambitions and expectations match ours. He was the outstanding choice.

2009 - Ancelotti is appointed by Chelsea
"Carlo was the outstanding candidate for the job," read a statement on the Chelsea website. "He has proved over a long period his ability to build teams that challenged for, and have been successful in, major domestic and European competitions. He also had a highly successful playing career in those competitions and therefore brings unparalleled all round experience to the job."

Lets not forget also that Carlo was considered for the job in 2008, but didn't get it because Scolari was the "outstanding choice". 3rd place in Serie A, the last 16 of the Coppa Italia and the last 32 of the Uefa Cup - he really brushed up his CV in the last year there!!!
