Ancelotti shaping up to deliver Real's coveted 'decima'


MADRID (Reuters) - When Real Madrid president Florentino Perez showed Vicente del Bosque the door in 2003 he could scarcely have imagined he would still be chasing a 10th European crown more than a decade later.

During two stints at the helm of the world's richest club, construction magnate Perez has been through seven coaches since Del Bosque was discarded but in Carlo Ancelotti he may finally have found the man who can secure the "decima" that has eluded Real since their last Champions League triumph in 2002.
