Ancelotti's Napoli come from two down to beat former club Milan
Polish midfielder Piotr Zielinski scored two second-half goals to inspire a comeback after Milan went 2-0 up.
He pounced on a mistake from Lucas Biglia for his first before slotting home again 15 minutes later.
Striker Dries Mertens completed the comeback just after Milan's Tiemoue Bakayoko was denied from close range.
Giacomo Bonaventura's excellent volley had given Milan a half-time lead and Davide Calabria made it 2-0 with a low strike early in the second half.
Argentina international Gonzalo Higuain made his debut following his move from Juventus in the summer which saw defender Leonardo Bonucci move the opposite way.
It was the first time in almost a decade that Ancelotti had faced Milan in Serie A after spending eight years with the club as manager before joining Chelsea in 2009.

French Open bans Williams catsuit
The 23-time Grand Slam champion said the outfit made her feel like a "superhero" at Roland Garros this year.
She claimed it helped her cope with the issue of blood clots, which she said almost cost her her life giving birth.
"It will no longer be accepted," French Tennis Federation president Bernard Giudicelli told Tennis magazine.
"I believe we have sometimes gone too far. You have to respect the game and the place."
Williams says she spoke to Giudicelli on Friday, insisting the decision was "not a big deal".
"The Grand Slams have the right to do what they want to do," said the three-time Roland Garros champion.
"If they know that some things are for health reasons then there's no way that they wouldn't be OK with it."
Giudicelli did not reveal the new rules but said they will not be as restrictive as at Wimbledon, where players must wear all-white outfits.
