Brazilian legend Ronaldinho is happy Carlo Ancelotti has been appointed as the Seleçao’s new coach, but hopes PSG beat Inter to win the Champions League this season.

Brazilian legend Ronaldinho, a former Milan star, released an interview with Marca, where he also discussed some issues related to Italian football.

First and foremost, Ronaldinho spoke about the imminent Champions League Final, in which Inter will meet Ligue 1 giants PSG, one of the striker’s former clubs.

“I like it. We’ve worked together, and I know him well,” said the ex-striker.

“I think it’s a good decision by the Federation. As a Brazilian, I am happy, and I hope he can do a great job with the next World Cup.”

Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid at the end of the season after becoming the club’s most successful coach.

The Italian tactician lifted 15 trophies during his time at the Bernabeu, including three Champions League titles.
