A notorious gang reportedly broke into the home of Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti before they were startled by the gaffer’s daughter.
Reports indicate the gang made their way to Ancelotti’s house in Blundellsands and managed to infiltrate the property.
They were however disturbed by Ancelotti’s daughter and managed to flee before authorities were called.
From the incident, police said a safe was among the items stolen by the masked thieves.
