16 h. ago Football Daily | The great Carlo Ancelotti rolls on to Brazil with life lessons for us all

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!The greatest trick Carlo Ancelotti ever pulled was raising one eyebrow at 45 degrees. Ancelotti’s left eyebrow has become a symbol of his management style: easy-going, slightly rakish, the Jeffrey Lebowski. It’s in total contrast to the hyperactive supercoaches who dream of chalkboards and third-man runs. Even when he’s facing the sack or when his team are losing 5-1 on aggregate, Ancelotti is doubtlessly dreaming of cigars and opera. But Ol’ Man Carlo must know something because he just keeps rolling on. The next stop is Brazil. Well, OK, Europe because that’s where Brazil play most of their games these days, but you get the point: DON CARLO X SELEÇÃO!Having read Ken Muir’s idea for Newcastle to use a QR code for a logo (yesterday’s Football Daily letters), it strikes me that this is less than an ideal plan, given that their home shirt is already a barcode.

Featuring moving interviews from the relatives of victims and chilling new footage of a handcuffed Fred locating the bodies at Cromwell Street, a new Netflix documentary pushes the true crime genre to its limitDez Chambers waited 15 years to get the news she didn’t want. All that time, she thought her missing little sister, Alison, might still be out there. Dez would watch documentaries about homelessness to see if perhaps she’d recognise a face, and even attempted the Salvation Army’s family tracing service. “It was hope,” she says from her home in the Netherlands.Hope faded one day in 1994. Calling her from the UK, Dez’s mother-in-law cried down the phone. There was panic, there was confusion, “so I had to ask her. And then she said it was in the papers that the remains had been identified as Alison.” Continue reading...
