Carlo Ancelotti Sports manager
Carlo Ancelotti (Italian pronunciation: [ˈkarlo antʃeˈlɔtti]; born 10 June 1959) is an Italian football manager and former player who currently manages Spanish La Liga side Real Madrid.Nicknamed Carletto, Ancelotti played as a midfielder, and after emerging with Parma, he had a successful career with Roma – captaining the team – with whom he won one Scudetto and four Coppa Italia honours and was part of the legendary late 1980s Milan team with which he won two Scudetti and two European Cups in a five-year period, under managers Arrigo Sacchi and Fabio Capello. He was capped 26 times and scored one goal for the Italian national team and appeared in the 1990 World Cup. Ancelotti was a cautious, composed, hardworking, and creative, midfielder who was capable of being deployed in several positions; he was regarded as one of the best Italian midfielders of his generation. Although he lacked notable physical and athletic characteristics, he was competent defensively, and he also possessed excellent technical ability, tactical intelligence, vision, and passing range, as well as a powerful and accurate shot. He is regarded as having been the mentor and predecessor of Albertini and Pirlo in the deep-lying playmaking role at Milan.After spells as manager of Reggiana, Parma and Juventus, Ancelotti was appointed Milan manager in 2001. He won the Serie A in 2004, the UEFA Champions League in 2003, 2007 and the FIFA Club World Cup in 2007. He is one of six men to have won the European Cup/Champions League as player and manager. In May 2009, he was appointed Chelsea manager and in his first season led them to a historic Premier League and FA Cup Double. He became only the second non-British manager to win the double, the other being Arsène Wenger. After an uneven 2010–11 Premier League season in which Chelsea failed to retain the title, Ancelotti was dismissed as their manager in May 2011.On 30 December 2011, Ancelotti signed a contract with ambitious French side Paris Saint-Germain. In his first full season with the club, Ancelotti managed them to the Ligue 1 title and the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League. On 25 June 2013, Real Madrid announced the signing of Carlo Ancelotti as their new manager on a three-year deal. He was presented to the fans the following day. Ancelotti won the UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid in his first season with the club's tenth title in the competition. Ancelotti is the only manager to hold the record of three times champions and a runners-up of the UEFA Champions League; he joined Bob Paisley as the only two managers to have won three European Cups and is one of the five managers to have won a European Cup with two different clubs. Ancelotti also won the Copa del Rey with Real Madrid, making it their 19th Spanish Cup win.
