Carlo Ancelotti has revealed Serie-A has witnessed a lot of changes over the past few years.
Ancelotti came back to his homeland as he was given the charge of Napoli following the departure of Maurizio Sarri who eventually joined Chelsea, the club Ancelotti used to manage.
Ancelotti has had a pretty positive start as he has led his team to the second spot in the Serie-A , just four points behind the league leader Juventus. This is Ancelotti’s first managerial job in Italy since he left AC Milan in 2009.
Ancelotti said, “For a long time Serie A was the best League in Europe.
“The biggest Italian industrialists invested in the clubs: [Silvio] Berlusconi, [Massimo] Moratti, other Italian captains of industry…
“They used their incredible financial strength to bring the best players in the world to Italy. It’s become more difficult, particularly after the financial crisis.
“Only Juventus have constructed a model which has given them that financial strength. It’s hard for the others to keep up. But that’s not the only reason.
“There’s also a crisis in the development of talent, there isn’t the pool of top level talent that there was before. We’re in a moment of difficulty.
“Certain players have potential, they just have to develop. In the next two or three years we’ll see more clearly.”
