PARIS, Dec. 29 (Xinhua) -- Former AC Milan and Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti is expected to be confirmed as the new coach of Paris Saint-Germain in a press conference on Friday, announced the Ligue 1 club Thursday.

Ancelotti has been in talks with the Ligue 1 leaders since Wednesday afternoon, after being lined up to replace Antoine Kombouare.
