Short Term Fix 

The last time Ancelotti was in a job for more than 3 years was back in 2009 when he coached AC Milan from 2001 till 2009. He has become a short term fix for clubs since then. Having been sacked from the previous 3 roles that he was in before being appointed as an Everton coach, the signs were clear.

Ancelotti was no longer the man to be trusted in helping build a long term project. Something that Everton have been trying to do since Farhad Moshiri’s takeover. Having spent over £526m since the takeover, it is clear to see that Moshiri is willing to spend even when a new appointment is made. Seeing the likes of Ronald Koeman, Sam Allardyce and Marco Silva get the funds that they thought were needed to help build a winning team.

It is safe to say that all of them failed and due to this many unnecessary transfers were made that didn’t help the team rather cost the team millions in the wage bill. Everton could have done better by appointing a manager who was willing to work with what he has got and build the club slowly and steadily, similar to what Mauricio Pochettino did when we was appointed as the manager of Spurs back in 2014, guiding them to a UEFA Champions League final by his 5th year in charge of Spurs.

Good things take time. Ancelotti isn’t the type of manager you hire to build a team for years to come. Everton needed stability and patience, something that Ancelotti can no longer offer as a manager.
