Paul Clement says James Rodriguez is at Everton due to manager Carlo Ancelotti.
Clement worked under Ancelotti at Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
"It's like when he went to PSG," the Cercle Brugge coach told The Times.
"There were bigger, better opportunities but it was exciting. It was good for PSG that someone of his profile could come and attract Thiago Silva, Zlatan (Ibrahimovic), Thiago Motta.
"Those players come because they have a coach of that level. You've seen that at Everton already.
"The signing of James Rodriguez doesn't happen if Carlo is not there."
