Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has reportedly urged Championship side Blackburn Rovers to appoint Duncan Ferguson as their new boss.
Blackburn are without a manager after long-serving boss Tony Mowbray left by mutual consent. Ferguson is the favourite for the job, with Gareth Ainsworth, Damien Johnson, Carlos Carvalhal, Michael Carrick and Roy Keane also in the frame.
Ferguson worked with Ancelotti at Everton during the Italian's 18-month spell in charge at Goodison Park, before he left to re-join Real Madrid last summer. That proved to be a wise decision, as Real won La Liga, the Champions League and the Supercopa de Espana this season.
