Carlo Ancelotti is among the candidates being considered by Arsenal to replace Unai Emery.
That’s according to The Telegraph, who claim that the former Chelsea boss, now in charge at Napoli, is being considered as the Spaniard’s long-term successor.
Ancelotti has three Champions League triumphs on his CV and has managed in all five of Europe’s top leagues.
The report also reveals that Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo and Manchester City assistant Mikel Arteta are also targets.
The news regarding Ancelotti quickly made its way across social media and left plenty of fans excited.

Read Arsenal verdict
Arsenal could do a lot worse than Ancelotti, so it’s easy to see why some supporters are happy with the news.
The 60-year-old would bring a wealth of experience to North London and could be tempted over a return to England.
There is plenty of unrest at his current club Napoli, so if the Gunners firm up their interest, we could see the Italian in the Emirates dugout very soon.
