Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti is happy seeing AC Milan revived this past year under coach Stefano Pioli.

Milan are top of the Serie A table and also into the final 32 of the Europa League.

Former Rossoneri coach Ancelotti told Radio Uno: "They're doing very well, this is clear.

"I absolutely do not think that the match against Juventus on Wednesday is decisive.

"Thanks to (Paolo) Maldini, a great job of recruiting young people has been done, given that there was no possibility of exploiting large capital.

"As far as Inter is concerned, the situation is different: there was a strong intervention by an investor."
