Seamus Coleman has hailed the man management skills of Carlo Ancelotti and believes he has already improved Everton’s stars. Carlo Ancelotti has already struck up an instant connection with Everton supporters since his arrival on Merseyside in December and Coleman has revealed his team-mates have also struck a similar relationship with their new boss.
The Republic of Ireland international Seamus Coleman said “Fergie came in (Duncan Ferguson) and was absolutely brilliant. He really deserved that chance and I am so glad it went so well for him. Then we all know we got a world class manager, and I have to say, a world class man, who is very approachable and very down to earth. You don’t do as well as he did in the game without the other side of it…the tactical side of it. I think you have seen massive improvements in Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison and we are just learning from him every day. It is a pleasure to have him as Everton manager and hopefully he can have a successful time. I think his man management is just top class. For someone who has done so much in the game, you sometimes have characters who aren’t approachable. But he is there and he will give advice on what we need to do. He is open all ears. We have just got to learn from him as much as we can.”
The Italian was named as Everton’s new manager back in December, replacing Marco Silva, who was sacked following the Blues’ 5-2 defeat to Liverpool at the start of December. Since his appointment, the former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss has taken charge of 11 Premier League matches, in which his side have claimed 18 points and slowly moved up the table.
