Carlo Ancelotti is set to visit a nunnery to learn English for two weeks, as advised by Guus Hiddink.

The former Chelsea manager told the Italian that to attend the convent in Vught, near Eindhoven, which is famous for intensive English courses.

Hiddink who had studied English there, reccommended the nunnery to the new Chelsea manager.

The school requires students to study for up to 10 hours day, teaching conversational English, which will prove important in the dressing room.

Ancelotti already showed he is compentent in English after giving an interview in English to Chelsea TV on Monday.

However, mindful of the fate that befell Luiz Felipe Scolari, Ancelotti wants to be absolutely fluent so nothing is lost in translation when it comes to talking to his players.
