Ancelotti shuffling to find winning Napoli hand

Four months have passed since Carlo Ancelotti arrived in Napoli after Maurizio Sarri’s departure for Chelsea with the promise of finding the missing piece in the jigsaw to end the southern Italian side’s near three-decade wait for the Scudetto.
The former AC Milan and Chelsea coach’s arrival was hailed by club owner Aurelio De Laurentiis as the start of a new era at San Paolo Stadium.
Under Sarri, Napoli came so close to toppling Juventus last season with a record 91 points.
Ancelotti — with a cabinet full of trophies won in five top European leagues — promised not “a revolution” but to add the finishing touches to give the team the final push.
But seven games into the Serie A campaign, Ancelotti’s side are already six points behind Juventus who are looking even stronger then ever with Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Champions League — which Ancelotti had promised would not play second fiddle to their Scudetto ambitions as it had done under Sarri — has also gotten off to an uninspiring start with a goalless draw at Red Star Belgrade.
