Real Madrid coach Ancelotti: Napoli and I splitting was right decision

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is looking forward to facing former club Napoli tonight.

Ancelotti had two seasons with Napoli before leaving for Everton.

Ahead of their Champions League clash, the Italian said: “I had a really wonderful spell in a fantastic city.

"There were more difficult moments too, but I focus on the memory of a positive experience. I have a very good relationship with everyone there. Looking back before a game like this doesn't make sense. When the relationship between a club and a coach isn't quite right, it's better to call it a day.

"I think it was the best decision for Napoli and for me because two years later I came back to the best club in the world."
