Real Madrid's move to reappoint Carlo Ancelotti as their manager is at an advanced stage, with the Everton boss set to replace Zinedine Zidane at the Bernabeu. One well-placed source says the deal for Ancelotti, who previously coached Real between 2013 and 2015, to return to the club is "99 per cent" done. The move has developed quickly over the past two days, with Real president Florentino Perez personally leading negotiations following the departure of Zinedine Zidane. Zidane said on Monday he chose to leave because the club "no longer has the faith in me I need". Ancelotti has been linked with a return to Real for several weeks, but last month he dismissed those reports as "not true".
