Ancelotti is expected to be confirmed as the French club’s new coach in the coming days, with the two-time Champions League winner widely reported to have accepted a lucrative two-and-a-half-year contract to succeed Antoine Kombouare at the helm.
The 52-year-old Italian has been out of the game since being sacked by Chelsea in May but Ferrari expects Ancelotti to waste little time in establishing the newly-flush PSG as one of Europe’s elite.
"I'm sure that Ancelotti will do very well,” the agent told Goal.com. “He is one of the strongest Italian coaches and all of his teams play good football.
“In his career he has only had the misfortune to arrive at a disadvantageous time at Chelsea, who had a team with a high average age.
“His arrival will change everything in French football. Although I would have liked to see Kombouare leading the team until the end of season, I am sure that with Ancelotti at PSG they will be established as one of the top seven clubs in Europe.”
Speculation is rife that Ancelotti will soon be joined in the French capital by a player he is familiar with from his days with AC Milan, Brazilian forward Alexandre Pato, who is seemingly on the verge of leaving San Siro.
Ferrari is in no doubt that the arrival of Pato could prove just as significant as that of Ancelotti.
“It’s certain that Pato would be ideal for PSG,” he reasoned. “The Brazilian is much better than Kevin Gameiro, who is a good player but not in the highest bracket [of strikers].
"Pato could really make a big difference in Ligue 1.”
Ancelotti won two Champions Leagues during his time with Milan before leaving for Chelsea in 2010. He led the Blues to a league and cup double in his first season at Stamford Bridge but was then unceremoniously fired by owner Roman Abramovich at the end of last season.
