MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid have turned to Carlo Ancelotti to heal the wounds left by Jose Mourinho's controversial reign at the Bernabeu, appointing the Italian on a three-year contract on Tuesday.

The Spanish giants hope the former Paris St Germain manager will unite the dressing room, calm fans and local media, and re-establish Real as serious challengers to La Liga champions Barcelona.
