The Italian, who was sacked by Napoli just three weeks ago, succeeds Marco Silva. His short-term replacement Duncan Ferguson will remain part of the coaching team.
Ancelotti, a three-time Champions League-winning coach, returns to English football eight and a half years after he was sacked by Chelsea.
He won a
Premier League and FA Cup double with the west
London side in his first season in charge.
