Arrigo Sacchi praises Carlo Ancelotti

Former AC Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi has praised Paris Saint-Germain manager Carlo Ancelotti, amid rumours liking him with the vacant manager's job at Real Madrid.

The Italian is reportedly a target for the La Liga club, who are searching for a new manager following the departure of Jose Mourinho.

Sacchi, who managed Ancelotti as a player during his time in charge of the Rossoneri, believes that the former Chelsea boss would adapt to life at the Santiago Bernabeu.

"His best quality is that he is a chameleon," Sacchi told AS.

"He plays differently depending on the players he has. I always say that a coach's success depends much on the squad they have to work with, but he has the ability to adapt.

"Carlo is a great person, an extraordinary man and he has never, ever had problems with anyone."

Madrid president Florentino Perez has insisted that a deal has not yet been made to take Ancelotti to Spain.
