Carlo Ancelotti is not only a well-known coach, but also a talented midfielder, who was once a very famous field player. As a midfielder, he gained popularity by playing for Italian clubs such as Milan and Roma. With them, he won four Italian Cups, three Scudetto, as well as two Champions Cups. And he played 26 matches for the national team of his country.
Italian career
Carlo Ancelotti is a true Italian, and he built his career (both playing and coaching) in his homeland. True, since 2009 he stopped training Italian football players and began to try himself in other places, but more on that later.
Carlo Ancelotti is the coach who led such clubs as Regina, Parma, Juventus and, of course, his hometown for Milan. He spent eight years with “Rossoneri” - you should not even comment on how much his departure saddened fans and football players.
The coach showed excellent results in all the clubs where he worked. For example, with Juventus, Carlo Ancelotti won the Intertoto Cup, and this happened in the same season when he just joined the team. But his most striking achievements are connected precisely with “Milan”.
Career at Milan
Even in his debut season, Ancelotti managed to lead AC Milan to a bronze place in the Italian league, and he also made it so that they reached the semifinals of the UEFA Cup. The Italian firmly took up his new team and began productive work with them, the fruits of which had already appeared at the end of the first season. It was Ancelotti who invited Andrea Pirlo to the squad , and through him he subsequently began to build the entire attacking game. The results were on the face. What is the 2003 season worth! Then the team won the Italian Cup and the Champions League. Moreover, the trophy in the last tournament, they snatched from the hands of their sworn opponents - “Juventus”, bypassing Turintsev on a penalty 3: 2.
The following years, 2003/04, Carlo Ancelotti leads the team to a scudetto. In 2005, one of the most tragic matches of the Champions League took place - then the “Rossoneri” were leading in the final with “Liverpool” 3-0, however, as if something had happened in the second half, and as a result AC Milan lost to the British after a draw in 3 : 3 on a penalty shootout. But the team and the coach did not give up, so the next season they recouped on the same “Liverpool” (fate so ordered), winning the Champions League with a score of 2: 1.
Last years
The coach left Italy in 2009: first he went to Chelsea, with whom he won the FA Cup and Premier League, then to the French PSG, where he brought the Paris team to victory in the national championship. And then, in 2013, he became known as the head coach of Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti for 2 years with the team has achieved a lot. In the first season, the “royal” club won the Spanish Cup and the Champions League (for the first time in 12 years). This makes Carlo Ancelotti the second coach in history, who managed to win the most prestigious club tournament three times. In 2015, the Italian left the club, because in the 2014/15 season, his Spanish team did not win anything. But it is unlikely that the trainer's fault can be traced here.
At the moment, Ancelotti does not work in any club. However, they are interested in a huge number of representative offices, which is not surprising, knowing how high-class a professional is.
