Ancelotti gets sacked by Napoli and according to former reports from DailyMail, Arsenal could seek talks with he over their vacant manager’s position once the Italian’s future at Napoli was resolved.
The Gunners are committed to undergoing a thorough recruitment process regarding the appointment of Unai Emery’s full-time successor, with Ancelotti emerging as a prime contender for the post.
The club’s decision-makers, head of football Raul Sanllehi, technical director Edu, managing director Vinai Venkatesham and contracts negotiator Huss Fahmy, are understood to be keeping an open mind as to who they will recommend to succeed Emery.
Sportsmail understands the Kroenkes see value in handing the job to someone who has played for the club, which would strengthen Mikel Arteta and Patrick Vieira’s cases. Both Arteta and Vieira feature on what is an exhaustive list of names the club want to talk to.
