Liverpool contact former Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti as Brendan Rodgers replacement

Carlo Ancelotti has reportedly been contacted by Liverpool

CARLO ANCELOTTI has been contacted by Liverpool with a view to taking over from the under-pressure Brendan Rodgers.

 

The Northern Irishman is feeling the wrath of the Reds' fans after a string of poor results has left them floundering in 13th place in the table.

They haven't won for four games and fans have taken matters into their own hands, starting a fund to get the former Swansea boss out.

 

However, the Liverpool faithful may not be the only ones losing patience with Rodgers, after reports in Italy suggest the club have reached out to Ancelotti.

CalcioMercatoWeb report that the former Chelsea boss has been approached by the Reds to discuss the possibility of taking charge.

 

The 56-year-old certainly has the pedigree to help the club push on, boasting three Champions League titles from his time at AC Milan and Real Madrid.

And most importantly, the Italian has the Premier League know-how, lifting the title with the Blues in the 2009/10 season.
