Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti insists he's happy taking the job at Goodison Park.

Ancelotti was speaking after their defeat of Brighton on Saturday.

"To be a manager is a challenge every week, every game is a challenge, nothing special," he said.

"I am really proud to be here and I know the atmosphere we can breathe here, it is a fantastic atmosphere and the facilities we have are really fantastic for me. I am really happy to be here.

"There are difficulties, but that is normal, but before I was here [during Duncan Ferguson's caretaker spell] the team was doing really well."
