Ferguson tells Ancelotti: “Chicharito will be a success"

Sir Alex Ferguson, recently named as UEFA coaching ambassador has been acting as the host for the coaches as they arrive in Geneva for the annual UEFA Elite Forum. He greeted Ancelotti warmly as the Italian arrived and was quick to comment positively on the arrival of Chicharito at the Bernabéu: “He will be a major success at Real Madrid and I’m confident that he will score plenty of goals. He has his feet on the ground and has always wanted to play for Madrid; it will be a good move for him”. Chicharito played for three seasons at United under Sir Alex and managed to score 20, 12 and 18 goals respectively in his time at Old Trafford. Ferguson was directly instrumental in the signing of the Mexican from Chivas.

Ferguson is also expected to meet up with Mourinho during the meeting in Switzerland. Their relationship is excellent despite the fact that Ferguson passed over the Portuguese coach as a possible successor for the vacancy at Old Trafford. There are five Spanish coaches among the twenty attendees: Luis Enrique, Guardiola, Emery, Benítez and Míchel. In yesterday´s sessions, the subjects covered were: tactics, the recent World Cup and how to improve the functionality of UEFA competitions. Today the working committee are expected to meet with Pierluigi Collina to discuss refereeing issues.
