Now that the Serie A season is over the long assumed but not confirmed move of Carlo Ancelotti to Chelsea has been confirmed. There has been a lot of speculation and expectation about him taking over the Blues although he never played or coached in England. He certainly has resources at his disposal and has an impressive track record at Italy. Let's see what happens.
I have a correction to make w/r/t the Serie A part of my post from Friday. I said a Genoa win and Fiorentina loss that combined for a margin of three or greater would result in them switching places on the table and Euro competition next year. Well it happened as Genoa won 4-1 and AC Milan blanked Fiorentina 2-0. But..... nothing changed. That is because Serie A's tie-breaker is not goal differential but rather head to head. I am of mixed opinion on this. On one hand it is bad and unnatural and weird and it makes me look like an ass re last week's post. But on the other, given the calciopoli scandal of 2006 and the general tendency of dark behavior in the Italian game maybe it adds some insurance for fairplay late in the season.
