Former Chelsea manager ‘in love’ with Fergie

Carlo Ancelotti has revealed his great admiration for Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, describing the Scot as a brilliant leader who knows how to delegate responsibility and develop those around him.

Ancelotti, who was replaced by Andre Villas-Boas last summer following a trophyless season in-charge of Chelsea, insists that he is enjoying life away from football but relishes the prospect of managing in the same league as Fergie.
