The Italian training school always remains strong, while its symbol has been Carlo Ancelotti for years. The 63-year-old Emilian is fully enjoying his second adventure as coach of Real Madrid, the team with which he won the Champions League, the title and the Spanish Super Cup last season.
Even the new season has started perfectly, “Los Blancos” triumphed in the European Super Cup, they lead alone in La Liga, they have secured the qualification to the 16 best teams in the Champions League – a competition which they will aim to win for the first time. 16th – and they continue to be invincible.
Ancelotti has become the only technical champion in the five main leagues of the old continent (Milan, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, PSG), while no other coach has won the Champions League four times like him (Milan 2x, Real 2x) .
Claudio Ranieri, another Italian who is appreciated and respected, especially outside of Italy, has stopped at his compatriot in his statement for Radio Marca. “It is normal for Ancelotti to break my records, he has been in Spain for many years.
Carlo is a phenomenal coach, few have won as much as him. He is a coach who is attentive to his players and manages to create a very pleasant atmosphere in the dressing room and within the team.
Everyone respects him a lot, those who go on the field and those who stay on the bench. This means that he is truly an extraordinary person,” declared Ranieri, who wrote one of the most beautiful stories in English football in 2016 with Leicester City.
Meanwhile, Ancelotti has recovered a starter before the next challenge, the one against Sevilla at the “Santiago Bernabeu”. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who won the “Lev Yashin” award by being declared the best goalkeeper of 2022, has left behind his physical problems and has returned to train with his friends.
