A few days after the Champions League defeat against Milan, Real Madrid’s coach, the former AC Milan player and coach, the legendary Carlo Ancelotti gave an interview to France Football, where he discussed the teams he has managed, with two preferences above all.
Here's what he had to say:
"The best clubs I have managed? Milan and Madrid. When it comes to the best team, it's hard to talk about. I had the honor of managing fantastic players and teams. I can’t even list the best players I’ve coached. My best eleven doesn’t exist, it’s impossible to make one. It would almost be disrespectful. Incredible players. How do you choose?"
Carlo Ancelotti added:
"I’m friends with my players, and I want to be. They can talk to me about anything. I tell them, ‘I want to build a good relationship with you.’ Remember, I’m not above you. But I’m not below you either. Before I stop, I would like to win a new Champions League."
Milan, the best club to study football, says Ancelotti...
"Every coach wants to reach the top. But coaching Real Madrid is really special, it’s the best club in the world, because of its history, atmosphere, and fans. And then there’s Milan, the best club to study football. I had the opportunity to manage both."
