Italian filed claim against Everton earlier this monthAncelotti ‘wishes the club the very best for the future’
Carlo Ancelotti, the Real Madrid coach who filed a legal claim against his former club Everton earlier this month, has settled his case with the Premier League club.
The move comes barely two weeks after papers were filed at London’s high court – and just five days after the Guardian disclosed that the Italian had held discussions with Alisher Usmanov, the controversial Russian oligarch, about a series of incentive payments dependent on Everton’s performance in the Premier League. The discussions raised questions about whether a proposed side deal between Ancelotti and Usmanov had been behind the legal claim.
