Carlo Ancelotti has been linked with a return to Italian football with Napoli

Carlo Ancelotti has held talks with Napoli's president in Rome about becoming their new manager, according to Sky in Italy.
The former Chelsea, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich boss looks set to succeed Maurizio Sarri, who hinted on Sunday he was leaving the club.
"Everything in life ends and it is better to finish things after writing a beautiful story," Sarri said after Napoli's 2-1 win over Crotone, which saw them end the season with 91 points, four behind Serie A champions Juventus.
Sarri reportedly met with representatives of Zenit St Petersburg last weekwhile Chelsea have been also linked with the 59-year-old.
Ancelotti has been out of management since he was sacked by Bayern last September, while his last job in Italian football was with AC Milan, who he left in 2009 to become Chelsea boss.
Napoli have twice finished as runners-up to Juventus in the past three seasons. Their last league title success was in 1990.

Granit Xhaka's place in Switzerland's World Cup squad is in doubt after the Arsenal midfielder picked up an injury in training. The Swiss FA confirmed Xhaka had to stop training on Thursday after injuring his knee in a duel. He was not sent to hospital and was instead treated and examined by the physio at the team hotel. A statement on the Swiss FA website said Xhaka reported feeling pain on the outside of his left knee and will be sent for an MRI scan before any further update on the injury is given but they have told Sky Sports: "It is too early to say if he will miss the tournament in Russia". Xhaka is part of coach Vladimir Petkovic's 26-man preliminary squad which also includes Stoke midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri and Arsenal target Stephan Lichtsteiner. Switzerland play Spain in a warm-up match on June 3. They begin the World Cup against Brazil on June 17, before facing Serbia and Costa Rica in group E. via Sky Sports
