CARLO ANCELOTTI’S first game as Paris Saint-Germain’s manager will be against his beloved Milan.

Ancelotti made history with Milan, winning a Scudetto and two Champions League titles and on January 4th, he will be facing the very same Milan – with Allegri on the bench – with his Paris Saint-Germain.

The Italian was appointed PSG coach on Friday and the Emirates Challenge sees Milan, who won the Challenge last year, facing Carletto’s new team, and it is strange for the former Chelsea and Juve coach.

Allegri: “I want Pato to stay”

Happy New Year!

“It will be strange to play against Milan in my first match as the coach of PSG. I have great memories of my time at Milan, where I have many friends,” said Ancelotti, who watched Milan play a lot this season as he worked for Sky Sport Italia before making the move to Les Parisiens and is a big fan of the Rossoneri.

Another PSG man, who is a fan of Milan, is the highly-rated and sought-after Mamadou Sakho. “Milan are my favorite team. Every weekend I check the Serie A results to see how Milan did,” he said. “Milan have really great players, like Seedorf, Ibra, Pato, Silva, and Nesta is a great champion, just look at his career.”

The game takes place on January 4th, at the Al-Rashid Stadium; the kickoff is 16:30 CET (19:30 local).
