Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti sues Everton in London court

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is reportedly suing his former club Everton in the London High Court for “general commercial contracts and arrangements”.

According to the Guardian [12 June], this development is the latest blow suffered by the Toffees as they're already fighting a financial battle.

No details have been provided on the Italian's claim but he has taken an unprecedented step against his ex employers.

Shocking

This revelation has certainly come from nowhere and it will have stunned the footballing community worldwide, no less than Everton fans.

Ancelotti went out on a good note and everything appeared to be cordial even when he was at the club and he helped bring in some big names through the door.

The fans also admired him and there was a real feeling that the club could take the next step under his stewardship and they were even on the cusp of finishing in the European places.

When Real Madrid comes calling, it's often hard to say no so it's understandable why he ended up leaving the club.

It also remains to be seen how this all transpires as it's a shock and it's important to get some clarity over these claims and what it means for the club.

It was reported recently that even Davide Ancelotti was offered a job at Goodison Park so there's not understood to be any bad blood as of now.
