A legend of the game as the most successful manager in football history, Mr. Carlo Ancelotti
Carlo Ancelotti holds the distinction of being the first non-Brazilian manager to ever lead the Selecao, Brazil’s national team.
The hype and expectation surrounding Ancelotti’s departure from Real Madrid to coach Brazil in the 2026 World Cup are sky-high. This is a truly significant event.
This is Carlo Ancelotti, a manager who has built a wealth of experience by leading 11 different clubs: Reggiana, Parma, Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid (twice), Bayern Munich, Napoli, and Everton.
While in charge of Real Madrid, he secured 15 trophies, the highest number any manager has achieved in the club’s history.
The legendary manager’s two periods at Real Madrid saw contrasting trophy hauls: four in his 2013-15 tenure and an additional 11 upon his return in 2021 before leaving at the season’s conclusion.
Having started his career as a player under the tactically demanding Arrigo Sacchi at Milan, where he won two European Cups, Ancelotti’s later success as a pragmatic and player-oriented coach represents a significant evolution in his approach to the game.
Beyond his tactical expertise (“Xs and Os”), Ancelotti understands that managing top-tier players involves giving them the freedom to perform while ensuring their happiness and motivation. His successful handling of stars like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Kylian Mbappe has earned him the reputation of a “Galatico-whisperer”. Ancelotti will officially take over as Brazil’s coach on May 26th and will make his debut on June 6th against Ecuador in an important South American World Cup Qualifier.
