Former AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has been appointed Chelsea manager on a three-year deal.
The 49-year-old Italian left the Rossoneri on Sunday after guiding them to a third-place finish in Serie A.
He will officially take over on 1 July and replaces Russia coach Guus Hiddink, who ended his stint as Blues manager with an FA Cup triumph on Saturday.
"Carlo was the outstanding candidate for the job," read a statement on the Chelsea website.
"He has proved over a long period his ability to build teams that challenged for, and have been successful in, major domestic and European competitions.
"He also had a highly successful playing career in those competitions and therefore brings unparalleled all round experience to the job."
Ancelotti, whose English is limited, spent eight seasons at Milan and becomes the club's fifth manager in 21 months following Jose Mourinho, Avram Grant, Luiz Felipe Scolari and Hiddink.
