Arsenal and Everton can appoint Carlo Ancelotti without paying compensation - report

Carlo Ancelotti

The Italian has been linked with both Premier League vacancies since being sacked by the Serie A club earlier this week.

The Mail Online reports that any clubs interested in bringing in the experienced boss would not have to pay Napoli compensation for his services.

Ancelotti’s dismissal came on the back of a disastrous start to Napoli’s Serie A campaign, which sees them languishing in seventh place, 17 points behind leaders Inter Milan.
