MADRID, Spain -- It was no surprise when Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain named their new coaches almost simultaneously on Tuesday. For weeks, the clubs were tied together over the fate of Carlo Ancelotti. Ultimately, with a year to go on his contract at PSG, Ancelotti was successfully lured by Madrid. At the same time, PSG filled the void left by Ancelotti by settling on Laurent Blanc, who was last seen on a sideline leading France at the 2012 European Championship. Both teams got the men they wanted, winners of titles as players and coaches. Madrid got a coach with a little less ego than Jose Mourinho and a little more sensitivity, while PSG didnt get its first, second or third choice, but a respected figure all the same. After rebuffing Madrid for weeks, even before PSG clinched its first French league title in 19 years on May 12, the club gave in to Ancelottis desire to leave and Madrids deeper pockets. Following Mourinhos three tumultuous seasons, Ancelotti received a three-year contract and the immediate task of rebuilding trust in a dressing room riven by his predecessor. He will be presented at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Wednesday. Ancelotti will also have to nail down his squad, with striker Gonzalo Higuain likely leaving and the club linked to attempts for Tottenham winger Gareth Bale after losing a complex bidding war for Neymar to Barcelona. Ancelotti will also need to resolve three hefty problems inherited from Mourinho: To find a way to definitely break Barcelonas hold on the Spanish league; win the Champions League after Madrid lost in the semifinals for three straight years; and decide if he gives goalkeeper and captain Iker Casillas back his starting role, or continues to favour newcomer -- and Mourinhos preferred keeper -- Diego Lopez. Mourinho broke Barcelonas grip on the domestic league for one season, but was unable to win for Madrid an elusive 10th Champions League. Madrid hailed Ancelotti on Tuesday, saying hed been "elected best coach in all leagues where he has coached: Italy, England and France." Ancelotti, who won the European Cup twice as a player for AC Milan in 1989 and 1990, won Champions League crowns as the club coach in 2003 and 2007, and the Serie A in 2004. He led Chelsea -- the club Mourinho now coaches -- to the English Premier League title and FA Cup in 2010. PSG spent lavishly in Ancelottis two seasons, with an outlay of around 260 million euros ($340 million) to secure big names like striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and centre back Thiago Silva. Despite having such talent at his disposal, Ancelotti struggled to get the squad to play cohesively. Under him, PSG never went beyond the quarterfinals of any domestic cup competition. When Ancelotti joined PSG during the winter break of the 2011-12 season, replacing Antoine Kombouare, it held a three-point lead over Montpellier, only to lose the league title by three points. The club recovered from that blow to win the league last season, finishing eight points clear of Marseille, despite a mid-season rocky patch that led to Ancelotti openly questioning the commitment of his players. PSG reportedly went after Fabio Capello, Andre Villas-Boas, Rafael Benitez and other high-profile managers before opting to give Blanc a two-year contract. PSG was also apparently not Blancs first choice. Only after Roma took Rudi Garcia did Blanc turn back to PSG, and the lack of total commitment by each side was written into a contract in which the second year was reportedly an optional year as the clubs hierarchy keep an eye on the situation at English club Arsenal, where Arsene Wenger has one season left on his contract. Wenger has long been a favourite of PSGs cash-rich Qatari-based owners, QSI. Blanc, a 1998 World Cup winner as an attacking midfielder for France, coached Bordeaux to the French title and League Cup in 2009, and was handed the reins to France a year later. He entered Euro 2012 on a 21-match unbeaten run, but the teams discipline and effort fell apart and France meekly bowed out to Spain in the quarterfinals. A year later, hes a manager again. ------ Air Jordan 11 Wholesale Australia .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Dont tell leaders of Budapests bid that they are underdogs in the race for the 2024 Olympics. In fact, they say, the three other cities should be afraid of us.The Hungarian capital, which is competing against former Olympic host cities Los Angeles, Paris and Rome, has long been seen as the outsider in its campaign to stage the games for the first time.We do not approach in any way the underdog status because we dont have it, bid chairman Balazs Furjes said Tuesday. Budapest is not an underdog in this competition.All four bid cities sent leaders to Brazil to observe the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and pitch their case to IOC members. Tuesday was Budapests first chance to present its bid at an international news conference.Budapest is an equal participant and has all the chances just like the others to finish No. 1, Furjes said when asked about the underdog label. We are honored to participate in this competition. As much as we are kind of afraid of them, they should be afraid of us in the spirit of Olympic values and friendship.Los Angeles, which hosted the Olympics in 1932 and 1984, is bidding to take the Summer Games to the United States for the first time since Atlanta hosted the event in 1996. Paris seeks to stage the Olympics on the 100th anniversary of the last time it hosted the games. Rome hasnt hosted the Olympics since 1960.The International Olympic Committee will select the host city in September 2017.Furjes said Budapest would offer a low-risk Olympics and refreshing model for compact and intimate games.Budapest, he said, would be the right choice in 2024 after a run of four mega-cities in a row -- Beijing, London, Rio de Janeiroo and Tokyo.dddddddddddd IOC President Thomas Bachs Olympic Agenda 2020 reforms open the chance for midsize global cities to host the games, Furjes said.The Budapest leaders claimed the average travel time between venues would be no more than 13 minutes, with most sports sites located within a 10-kilometer radius of the city center. Only five new additional venues would need to be built at a total cost of $350 million, they said.Budapest also played up Hungarys long Olympic tradition, noting that it is the only country in the top 10 of the all-time medals list that has yet to host the games.The government of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban built razor-wire fences last year on the borders with Serbia and Croatia to keep out migrants and refugees trying to reach Western Europe. Orban has said Hungary does not want any migrants and described them recently as poison for the country.Furjes was asked how the governments policy fits in with the Olympic bid and with the participation of a 10-member IOC refugee team in Rio under the Olympic flag.The refugee crisis is one of the largest global challenges of today, he said. This is truly a global challenge and only a global solution can work. ... What sports can do is bring people together. Im proud to be a member of the Olympic movement welcoming the refugee team here in Rio and giving us the experience how sport can change lives for the better.---Follow Stephen Wilson on Twitter: www.twitter.com/stevewilsonap.
