Carlo Ancelotti has solidified his status as Real Madrid’s most successful manager in the club’s history, following a decisive 3-0 victory over Pachuca in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final. This win marks his 15th trophy with the club, surpassing the previous record held by the legendary coach Miguel Muñoz.
During his time at Madrid, Ancelotti has achieved remarkable success, including three Champions League titles, two LaLiga championships, and various national and international cups. His tenure includes two separate periods – from 2013 to 2015 and starting again in 2021. Notably, Ancelotti matched Muñoz’s record in August of this year after Madrid triumphed in the UEFA Super Cup against Atalanta.
Expressing his joy over the recent victory, Ancelotti highlighted the team’s gradual control over the match and their commitment to showcasing their quality. Kylian Mbappé and Rodrygo made significant contributions, with Rodrygo scoring to further emphasize the team’s attacking prowess.
Key players like Vinícius Júnior and Fede Valverde praised Ancelotti’s management style, which they believe fosters freedom on the field and contributes to the team’s overall success. As they look forward, Real Madrid will compete in the Spanish Supercopa in January, opening with a semifinal against Mallorca on January 9.
Ancelotti’s coaching legacy is impressive, as he is the only manager to have won league titles in all of Europe’s top five leagues and holds the record for the most Champions League victories, with five titles to his name.
This commendable achievement not only signifies Ancelotti’s mastery in coaching but also instills hope and excitement for the future of Real Madrid as they aim for more successes under his guidance.
In summary, Ancelotti’s latest triumph emphasizes his significant impact on the club and builds anticipation for their upcoming competitions. As the team continues to grow and evolve, the contributions of Ancelotti and his players promise bright prospects ahead.
