Carlo Ancelotti stated that his goal with Everton was to reach the Champions League after being appointed manager.

“I’m excited to be here at one of the greatest clubs in England. The goal is there to reach the Champions League or Europa League. Winning honours has to be the dream for this club and for the supporters. I am here to try to do this," said Ancelotti.

Ancelotti previously won a Premier League and FA Cup double with Chelsea in 2010.

Ancelotti's first match in charge will be on boxing day against Burnley.
