DBasia.news – Liverpool legend Graeme Souness predicts Carlo Ancelotti will not handle Arsenal. The view of the 66-year-old man, Don Carlo will only deal with big clubs, and Arsenal, for the time being, is not in that category.
Napoli sacked Carlo Ancelotti after the club made sure to qualify for the last 16 of the 2019-2020 Champions League after winning the match against Genk 4-0 on Wednesday (11/12/2019) early morning Western Indonesian Time.
Of course, the info is quite surprising because the announcement was rumored sometime after Ancelotti successfully led Napoli to qualify from Group E with runner-up status.
Although the issue of dismissing Ancelotti has actually been smelled in recent weeks, but no one thought the Napoli side would decide after the team had just qualified for the last 16.
“Will the big manager accept Arsenal now? I’m not sure. I don’t think the next manager at Arsenal will be the one to turn things around for Arsenal. I think there is a lot of work to do there, especially with the players,” Souness said at Soccerway.
“I think Ancelotti is a great manager and if you look at the work he has – Real Madrid, PSG, Chelsea – you know Arsenal are an amazing club, but at the moment it is a difficult job for anyone who gets it,” Souness added.
Carlo Ancelotti himself was fired in his second year at Napoli because he was deemed to have failed to deliver good results in the 2019-2020 Italian League. At this time, Napoli fell seventh in the Italian League standings with 21 points. Napoli 12 points behind third-place currently occupied by Lazio.
