“He was acquired by Silvio Berlusconi at the close of the 1987 summer transfer window, at the personal request of Arrigo Sacchi. President of Roma Main coach Dino Viola was sure that on Via Turati the footballer would not find his former glory, especially, paying attention to severe injuries, obtained earlier, however, it should be noted that subsequently Ancelotti not only became an indispensable person in the center of the Rossoneri field, but also won a place in the national team, taking part in the 1990 World Cup. His memorable last league game at the San Siro in the triumphant 1991-92 season, when he scored a brilliant double against Verona on the last day of the tournament (the game ended 4-0). A commemorative poster at the San Siro stadium in honor of the midfielder: "Ancelotti cuore dei Tigre", personifying the feelings that the tifosi had for the player. Il suo sogno (inconfessato pubblicamente) è quello di allenare, un giorno, il Milan. Ci riuscirà?" (Nota di Colombo Labate del 1998).

"When he took the field, whether it was the Champions Cup final or a friendly game, he always gave his best."Ancelotti began his football career V "parmain 1976. In 1979 he moved toRoma”, where he played 8 years, taking part in 171 games, scoring 9 goals and winning the Scudetto (82-83), as well as 4 Italian Cups (79-80, 80-81, 83-84, 85-86). Once in "Milan” immediately became a key figure in the middle of the Rossoneri field. Here he won everything that is possible. At the age of 28, Ancelotti could have ended his career due to two knee surgeries. His unforgettable joy after scoring against Real Madrid in a historic 5-0 victory for the Italians in the Champions Cup. Carlo Ancelotti made 26 appearances for the national team, scoring one goal - the only one, but really special in the game Holland - Italy (1-1) on January 6, 1981.

Club

Carlo Ancelotti was born in Reggiolo on June 10, 1959. He spent his childhood with his family, who lived on funds from Father Giuseppe's agricultural work. He attends the Technical Institute, first in Modena, then in Parma. In Rome he receives a diploma of an expert in electronics. Carlo Ancelotti made his Serie C debut in the 1976/77 season with Parma at the age of 18. At Parma, he played until the 1978/79 season, crowned with promotion to Serie B after a decisive match with Trestina, which ended in a 3-1 victory. In this match, he scored a double.

So the player was discovered by Niels Liedholm, who brought Ancelotti to Roma in the summer of 1979. The debut in Serie A dates back to September 16, 1979 in the match "Roma" - "Milan" 0-0. Soon, Carlo established himself as an excellent central midfielder in the Wolves, in 1985 becoming the captain of the team with which he won the Scudetto (1982/83) and 4 Italian Cups (1979/80, 1980/81, 1983/84, 1985 /86) in 8 seasons with Roma.

In 1987, he moved to Milan, with whom he wins almost everything: 2 Scudetto (1987/88 and 1991/92), 2 Champions Cups (1988/89 and 1989/90), 2 Intercontinental Cups (1989 and 1990), 2 European Super Cups (1989 and 1990) and League Super Cup (1988).

In Milan, Silvio Berlusconi Ancelotti joins the team of such great players as Marco van Basten, Ruud Gulit, Frank Rijkaard, Franco Baresi, Paolo Maldini and others. This is the unforgettable era of the invincible AC Milan Arrigo Sacchi.

Ancelotti ended his career in 1992 at the age of 33 with his third Scudetto (his second with AC Milan).

He was one of the strongest midfielders European football: physically powerful and proficient in tackling the ball, in addition, with impressive technical specifications and a great shot from long distances. Numerous knee injuries (in 1981 against Fiorentina in Rome and in 1983 against Juventus) prevented Carlo from taking part in the 1982 World Cup in Spain.

national team

As part of the Italian national team, Anceloti played 26 games, took part in the 1986 World Cup, held in Mexico, the 1988 European Championship, and the 1990 World Championship in Italy.

Carlo Ancelotti scored his only international goal against Holland.
In 1988 in Germany, he becomes one of the best midfielders, while at the 1990 World Cup he only takes part in 3 fights (among which the match for 3rd place) due to a muscle strain.

coaching career

Ancelotti began his coaching career by replacing Arrigo Sacchi at the helm of the Italian national team. In 1995, he coached Reggina in Serie B, with whom he finished 4th and advanced to Serie A. The next year he began on the Parma coaching bridge. With her, for two seasons, he finished second (qualifying for the Champions League) and fifth (qualifying for the UEFA Cup) in Serie A.

In February 1999, he replaced Marcelo Lippi at the helm of Juventus, with whom he finished fifth. Nevertheless, in Turin, Ancelotti could not become his own, including because of the Bianconeri tifosi, who reckoned with the past of the Italian specialist as a player of Milan and Roma. The following season, he wins the Intertoto Cup in the summer and earns the right to qualify for the Champions League, finishing second in Serie A, dominating at the top of the standings and being close to winning the championship, but missing it on the last match day against Perugia ". The following season, at the helm of the Bianconeri, he also takes second place in the championship, after which he says goodbye to the leadership of the Turin team, despite scoring 144 points in two seasons at Juventus.

On November 5, 2001, he replaced Fatih Terim on the AC Milan coaching bridge. In his first season with the Rossoneri, he finished 4th, qualifying for the Champions League. In the 2002/03 season, Milan finished 3rd in the league, but the main event of the season was the Champions League victory against Juventus at Old Trafford in Manchester (May 28, 203, 0-0 after regular and extra time, and 3-2 in the penalty shoot-out), as well as the Coppa Italia in the final game against Roma. The next season began with a European Super Cup win against Porto and the Scudetto. But, unfortunately, it was not possible to win the Intercontinental Cup against Boca Juniors (1-1 after regular time, 1-3 in the penalty shoot-out). The 2004/05 season began with a victory in the Italian Super Cup against Lazio, but the epilogue was not so successful: 2nd place in the championship and qualification in the Champions League was accompanied by an inexplicable defeat in the most prestigious tournament of the old world for clubs in the match against Liverpool, which took place on at the Atatürk Stadium in Turkey on May 25, 2005, when the Milanese went 3-0 up after the first half, but lost to England in the penalty shoot-out. The 2005/06 season was very successful for Mr. Ancelotti, but ended up without a win, behind Juventus in the championship, as well as a defeat in the semi-final against Barcelona, ​​the future winners of the tournament in that Champions League draw (0-1 at home and 0 -0 in Catalonia).

In the 2006/07 season, Ancelotti's team finished 4th in Serie A, but won the Champions League at Olympic Stadium in Athens on May 23, 2007 in a match against Liverpool (2-1: Filippo Inzaghi double), taking revenge for a defeat two years ago. Thanks to this achievement, Milan were able to directly qualify for the 2007/08 Champions League without taking part in the preliminary part of the tournament. On August 31, 2007, the Rossoneri won their second European Super Cup under Ancelotti, beating Sevilla with goals from Filippo Inzaghi, Marek Jankulovski and Kaka (3-1).

On December 16, Carlo won his first Club World Cup in Yokohama, beating Boca Juniors 4-2.

According to the International Institute of Football History and Statistics, Carlo Ancelotti was named the best coach in the world in 2007. His AC Milan scored 193 points, ahead of Alex Ferguson (MJ, 134 points) and Juande Ramos (Sevilla, 104 points). In the 2007/08 season, the "devils" take 5th place in Serie A: for the first time under the leadership of Ancelotti, the Rossoneri do not get a ticket to the Champions League.

In the 2008/09 season, Milan Ancelotti, despite a brilliant start, finishes the championship in 3rd place and crashes at the 1/8 UEFA Cup stage.

On the last game day of Serie A of the 2008/09 season, Carlo confirmed numerous rumors that appeared in the press about the termination of the agreement with the Rossoneri management by mutual agreement. For 420 matches as a coach over 8 years in the camp of the "devils", he became the second allenator of Milan in the number of matches played at the helm of the team after Nereo Rocco (459).

Carletto is our prince

"Am I a loser? Yes, I'm a festival!"

Manchester. It's Carlo Ancelotti's rematch night. They said that he was a loser, he leads the team in the Champions League in the most beautiful evening for Milan. Juve beat at the football theater at Old Trafford. “Indescribable joy, we deservedly won. Penalty shootout? This is a complete victory, not an accidental one. I am a loser? I'm not interested in it, let them say what they want. Now we will celebrate the victory, and tomorrow we will see.”.

Tears of happiness Paolo Maldini on the field. This is his 4th European Cup and 6th final. Captain's words: “My wife was here, my family was here. I won a lot, but I will never forget this match.”

Inzaghi: « amazing year».
Filippo Inzaghi: "An amazing year for Milan. I have to say that it is very disappointing to lose in the penalty shootout. It's a huge disappointment for Juve, but we played well. And, of course, the magnificent Dida in the shoot-out."

Gallini rages into microphones Italia Uno
Galliani does not hide his emotions in front of the microphones of Aguanno (Italia Uno): “I don’t understand how you can talk about a bad season when Milan play in the Champions League final, in the Coppa Italia final and finish third in the championship. I still don’t understand this… I salute the team.” The Rossoneri vice-president also commented on the game itself: “Shevchenko's kick in the penalty shoot-out changed the history of Milan. In this lottery, we were stronger: we do not have to go through the preliminary stage in the Champions League, we will fight for the European Super Cup, as well as the Intercontinental Cup. This is a big holiday. In the penalty shoot-out, my face changed, and I did not see the last shot with my own eyes. When Shevchenko was preparing to strike, I turned towards the audience, and when I saw her reaction, I realized that Sheva was not mistaken.

Marcelo Lippi: "What do you want me to say? This match was unsuccessful for us from the very beginning: Nedvěd's qualification, then Tudor's and Davids' injuries received tonight. It's a terrible thing to lose in the third final, a big disappointment. Milan started the first half well, then we played better, but the bad episodes of the game did not allow us to win this match.”

Zambrotta: "It hurts me to lose on penalties"
Not only Lippi showed his disappointment, but also Gianluca Zambrotta: "We didn't play in the best way. Anything can happen in a penalty shootout. It ended in failure for us: the excitement and unreasonable concentration that we demonstrated in the final played a role. We are very sad, first of all, because for some teammates this is the third defeat in the Champions League final. Our season, however, remains successful: we won the Scudetto and proved tonight that we are a great team."

Ancelotti: Finally the Scudetto. After two 3rd places, the first place is a great joy.

Carlo Ancelotti won his first Scudetto as Milan manager, and continued last season's success (winning the Champions League and Coppa Italia) when the label of "loser" almost stuck on the Italian specialist after two seasons on the coaching bridge of Juventus and the national team Italy. A triumphant victory in Serie A brought the Rossoneri the 17th Scudetto.

The merits of Carletto are undoubted: he rebuilt the team's tactics, moving from a scheme with two attackers to a scheme with two trequartists. These steps were a necessity and a subsequent categorical choice of the coach. Inzaghi's injury and the bright game of Kaka, who revealed himself in a new image compared to last season and became a key player in the team, a true main force of the Rossoneri. Probably the most difficult moment for the coach was the requirement of President Silvio Berlusconi to use two forwards. Ancelotti continued to work hard, using all the possibilities of his team and confidently following the victory in the championship.

A student of Arrigo Sacchi, being his assistant for three years (92-95), this was the most important experience. Ancelotti began his coaching career with Reggiana in 1995/96, followed by promotion to Serie B. Later, fourth place and promotion to Serie A. The first team that individualized the great abilities of the future Rossoneri coach, Parma, season 96/97. The result achieved by the team is 2nd place behind Juventus, the champions of Italy. This achievement was not repeated next year: 6th place and farewell to Parma. In the 98/99 season, he takes the place of Marcelo Lippi at Juventus. For Ancelotti, a “bewitched” period began: after 5th place in the championship, the curse of 2nd place began, which lasted the next two years: a disappointing match with Lazio in the 99/00 season, as well as a lost match with Perugia. The desire to return home was great, but Carlo could not refuse Galliani and Berlusconi.

Milan was his destiny: though at the beginning only 4th place in Serie A in the first season. A Champions League final win over Juventus in Manchester followed: at times the team seemed unstoppable and put on some truly stellar football. In the championship, however, things were not going well: Milan let Juve and Inter go ahead. The team later wins the European Super Cup in August against Porto. Maldini and Co. failed to win the Intercontinental Cup and played a fatal match in the Champions League against Deportivo from La Coruña at the 1/4 final stage. In the championship, the Milanese were unstoppable, winning victories and showing performances in all matches, which culminated in the long-awaited victory of the Scudetto. Congratulations Carletto...

Ancelotti: "A well-deserved Scudetto, I'm still not aware"

Carlo Ancelotti does not hold back his admiration after Milan's triumph and winning his first Scudetto as head coach: "Big excitement- says the Italian specialist after the match with Roma, - I don't report yet. A well-deserved Scudetto, without a doubt. My eyes are shining as I am very excited. We had a great championship. The result is fair. We had a great championship. It's a huge experience. Such a triumph must be enjoyed slowly. The game against Chievo was the best of the season. Now I know the taste of great coaching victories.

This is Carlo Ancelotti

If he stays with the team until the end of his contract with the club (until 2007), which was renewed on 31 August 2004, he will be compared with the big names of the long successful management of the team, such as Arrigo Sacchi and Fabio Capello, two specialists who personified the Milan era ". Carlo Ancelotti is a brave innovator, ascetic and peasant. Truly revolutionary ideas of tactics are roaming in his head.

From excellent Parma player (1976-1979) to Roma captain (1979-80 to 1986-87). Many trophies and memorable matches with such great players as Bartolomei, Bruno Conti, Sebino Nela, Roberto Pruzzo and others. His only real sporting disappointment comes in the Champions Cup final against Liverpool. In 1981, he leaves athletic activity until 1983 due to frequent painful injuries. Even under these conditions, as the captain of the Gialorossi, he continues his career, moving to Milan when the player is worried about his knees, which need serious treatment (from 1987-1988 to 1991-1992), and subsequently plays side by side in the famous "dream team" "Rossoneri" in the company of Marco van Basten, Paolo Maldini, Mauro Tassotti, Ruud Gulit, Franco Baresi and many other champions.

The genius of Sacchi, the coach of the future: an innovative cocktail and other experiments that led him to win everything. In 1992, due to physical problems, he left his career as a player and began his career as a coach, starting as an assistant to Arrigo Sacchi, in a team led by the majestic Roberto Baggio. Consistently in the coaching field, he achieves enviable results in the "Regina" (1995), winning consecutive access to Serie A.

Subsequently, Carlo becomes the head coach of Parma, under the guidance of the Tanzi family, achieving impressive success - 2nd place in the championship, losing the top of the standings to the formidable Juventus. This is followed by the experience of a coaching career at the helm of the same Juventus, replacing Marcelo Lippi as an allenator from Turin. First 5, and then 2 places become an unsatisfactory result for the Bianconeri leadership, and in 2003 Milan shows interest in him. The Rossoneri team brought together skilled players in the center of the field, such as Andrea Pirlo, Gennaro Gattuso. The Devils win the championship two rounds before it ends. Ancelotti impressed with his ideas, which at first glance seemed insane, inherited by the great Arrigo Sacchi, who at one time was not afraid to take risks and use new, previously untested tactical methods, skillfully using the Dutch model. In a certain sense, Ancelotti is a "tactical philosopher" and a great connoisseur of secret mechanisms, small details in tactical schemes.

Experience, success and reliability are the qualities that characterize Carlo Ancelotti's work in every team he has led. Experienced italian coach takes the helm the best club 20th century after a successful season in France, where he was named the best coach of the year.

In Europe, there are only a few titles left that the Italian allenator has not yet conquered: he has won almost all trophies at the international level (2 Champions Leagues, 2 European Super Cups, 1 Club World Cup and 1 Intertoto Cup); Ancelotti also won national tournaments in three different countries (Italy, England and France).

As a player, Ancelotti never left his native country, but he did not hesitate to take the opportunity to work abroad as a coach, which enriched him both personally and professionally. Carlo began his coaching career in the same city where he was born, heading Reggiolo in the 1995/96 season, and already in the first season of work at the club, he brought Reggiolo to Serie A. His feat did not go unnoticed: they paid attention to the promising coach All strong teams Italian football; and in the next season, Ancelotti headed Parma. As a result of solid work, already in the first season, Parma, led by a young allenator, took second place in Serie A, and Carlo himself laid a solid foundation for future victories (in 1999, Parma won the UEFA Cup, and Ancelotti himself in This season, he was already in charge of Juventus.

However, Ancelotti's greatest success as a coach came at the same club where he shone as a player - Milan. Carlo worked for the team for 8 seasons, during which time Milan returned to the top of European football.

After a successful career in Italy, Ancelotti traveled to England where he easily adapted to a completely different style of play. As before, in the first season under the leadership of Ancelotti, success came to Chelsea and resulted in a triplet of trophies: the FA Super Cup, victory in the Premier League and the FA Cup.

Biography and career of Carlo Ancelotti

Carlo Ancelotti was born in the commune of Reggiolo into a family of simple village workers. He studied at a regular school, helped his parents in agricultural work.

Like most Italian boys, he loved to kick the ball, but until the age of 14 this did not promise to grow into something serious, until Carlo got into football school local club.

Carlo Ancelotti - footballer

From "Regiolo" he moved to youth team Parma, which played in Serie C, but it was already professional football. In 1976, Carlo Ancelotti became a first-team player, and in the 1978-1979 season, Parma, led by Cesare Maldini, achieved a promotion. Moreover, in the playoff match against Trestina, Ancelotti scored two goals, which allowed his team to snatch victory.

After that, Ancelotti was immediately invited to Roma, where he spent eight wonderful years. It was one of the best periods in the history of Roma - the team won its second Scudetto, won four Italian Cups, reached the final of the Champions Cup.

Ancelotti played in the position of the central midfielder of the defensive plan (now it is called the defensive midfielder). Powerful, physically strong, Carlo did not let down his rivals, for which he received the nickname "Gladiator", and after the release of the cult action movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ancelotti began to be called the terminator.

In 1987, Carlo Ancelotti moved to AC Milan. They say that Arigo Sacchi, who had just headed the club, insisted on this. Simultaneously with Ancelotti, Dutch stars appeared in the club and, and a year later he joined them.

The defensive line of that team is still considered the best in the history of world football, and the famous Dutch trio is also remembered. Few people remember the modest hard worker Carlo, but he was the most important mechanism of the machine created by Arigo Sacchi. A machine that, in addition to victories within Italy, managed to win the European Cup twice in a row.

For 10 years (from 1981 to 1991) Carlo Ancelotti was called up to the Italian national team, was in its composition at the 1986 and 1990 World Cups, as well as at Euro 1988. In total, Ancelotti played 26 matches for the Azzurra, in which he scored one goal.

Carlo Ancelotti - coach

Start coaching

Immediately after completion playing career Carlo Ancelotti joined the coaching staff of the Italian national team, which was headed by Arigo Sacchi, who clearly favored his former ward.

Having gained experience, in the summer of 1995, Ancelotti switched to independent work, heading the Serie B club Reggiana, which, under the guidance of a young coach, won a ticket to the elite division of Italian football. By the way, one of the main players of that team was the Russian striker Igor Simutenkov.

After that, Ancelotti accepts an offer from Parma, the club where he took his first steps in professional football. , and with the arrival of Ancelotti, she achieved the highest achievement in the Italian championship, finishing second in the 1996-1997 season. Two points short of the Scudetto.

After the 20th round of the 1998-1999 Italian Championship, Carlo Ancelotti replaces Marcelo Lippi on the Juventus coaching bridge, under whose leadership Juve is in real trouble, hanging at the end of the top ten in the standings.

But since the new football year, the "old lady" starts powerfully and leads the series "A" until the last round. The team plays especially well at home - 14 wins, 2 draws and only 1 defeat. The main competitor of Juventus then was the Roman Lazio, celebrating the centenary of the founding of the club.

Before last round Juve are two points ahead of the Romans and go to the away match with Perugia, which no longer has any tournament goals. It seemed that the title was secured for Juventus, but this is football - Perugia unexpectedly won 1-0, and the Scudetto went to Rome.

"I experienced the biggest disappointment of my life"

this is how Carlo Ancelotti reacted to this defeat.

"Milan"

2001-2009

Of course, the work of Carlo Ancelotti in this club should be taken out in a separate line. At Milan, he achieved his greatest success as a footballer, and here he finally matured as a world-class coach.

Ancelotti has become one of the most successful coaches in Milan history. Don't be put off by the fact that in his eight years of coaching only one Scudetto has been won. We must remember the crazy competition in those years in the Serie A and the consistently high results of the Rossoneri - over the years, Milan has been in the prize-winners five times and only once was lower than the fourth, league champion, place.

A certain lack of league titles Ancelotti more than made up for with two victories in the Champions League. But there was still, when Milan actually handed over the main trophy of European club football to their opponent with their own hands.

There, at Milan, Carlo Ancelotti made his most famous coaching move, putting a clean playmaker in the defensive midfield position. The decision, which at first seemed, to put it mildly, controversial, actually turned out to be ingenious, and the whole football world I saw that you can control the attack from deep in the field.

Continued coaching activity

In 2009, Ancelotti takes on a new challenge. Roman Abramovich, whose Chelsea have struggled to find stability since the departure of Jose Mourinho, opted for Ancelotti.

There was a certain risk in this decision, because “Papa Carlo” (this nickname has already been assigned to Ancelotti) never worked outside of Italy, and there is a very significant difference between the English and Italian championships.

Ancelotti did not disappoint - after a four-year break, the team regained the league title, for the first time managing to score more than 100 goals in the championship, and along the way won the League Cup. The misfire came out in the Champions League, where Chelsea lost to Inter already at the 1/8 final stage. True, as it turned out in May, the Londoners lost to the future winner of the tournament.

Chelsea management and fans have long dreamed of winning the Champions League, and before the 2010-2011 season, the team had a very specific task. Ancelotti did not cope with it, losing in the quarter-finals to Manchester United and was sacked, despite the fact that the team finished second in the Premier League.

Papa Carlo did not remain unemployed for long - already in December 2011 he received an offer to head Paris-Saint-Germain, which had just received Middle Eastern money. Then in Paris, in fact, a new team was being created, and Ancelotti, who arrived in the middle of the season, did not immediately manage to mold them into a single whole.

But already in the next season, Ancelotti's work bore fruit - PSG won the French championship by a wide margin (the third in history and the first since the beginning new era) and reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, where he lost to Barcelona only due to the away goals rule.

After Paris, Carlo Ancelotti receives an offer to lead Real Madrid. It is not customary to refuse such a football in the world, and Carlo moves to Madrid. For a long 12 years, Real Madrid, remaining in the leading roles in Europe, could not win the main European tournament, so Ancelotti's main task was to lead the club to victory in the Champions League.

Madrid coped with this task, defeating both finalists of the previous draw on the way to the final, and in - fellow countrymen from Atlético. However, at the end of the next season (2014-2015), Ancelotti leaves Madrid - Florentino Perez did not forgive the Italian for the second year without a champion title. Well, Real Madrid is such a club, and any coach should be ready to be fired, not even in case of failure, but simply in the absence of trophies during the year.

Ancelotti took a year off from football, but a coach of his level can't be out of work for long. July 1, 2016 Carlo Ancelotti becomes the coach of Bayern Munich. And they invited him there with the goal ... Yes, yes, you were not mistaken - to win the Champions League. The Munich club, fed up with internal trophies, literally dreamed of this victory.

Under the leadership of Ancelotti, Bayern predictably won the German championship, taking the country's Super Cup along the way, but flew out of the Champions League in the quarterfinals, losing 3:6 on aggregate to Real Madrid.

But don't be put off by the numbers, in the second leg Real Madrid were greatly helped by the Hungarian referee Viktor Kashshai. Madrid won 2-1 in Munich, but Bayern responded in kind to the Santiago Bernabeu. At the end of normal time, Kashshai unreasonably removed Arturo Vidal from the field, and during extra time, the refereeing team successfully missed two offsides from Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the second and third goals of Real Madrid, which decided the outcome of the confrontation.

“And I believe that the referee can make mistakes. But not at this level and not in such quantity,

says Carlo Ancelotti in a post-match interview. It's hard to disagree with him.

In principle, in Munich they understood that the Champions League was not the kind of tournament that could be taken and won like that by order, and therefore Ancelotti remained at the helm of the team. But at the end of September, he was fired. Officially - for a 0-3 loss in a match group stage Champions League from PSG. In fact - because of the conflict with the leading players of the club.

Logically and common sense the decision of the Bayern leadership is absolutely correct, otherwise half of the main squad would have to be put on the bench, and it is impossible to strengthen before the opening of a new transfer window. From a moral point of view, evaluate yourself. In a world of big money and big interests (not just football), morality has never been honored.

So, a brief summary of the results of the work of coach Carlo Ancelotti. If you have your own football club, then feel free to invite Papa Carlo to the role of head coach - this way you will 100% insure yourself against failure, guarantee at least some title, or advancement, and somewhere around 85% ensure the achievement of really significant goals.

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 coaching Italian football players and began to try himself in other places, but more on that later.

Carlo Ancelotti is a coach who led clubs such as Reggiana, Parma, Juventus and, of course, his native AC Milan. He spent eight years with the Rossoneri - it's not even worth commenting on how much his departure saddened the fans and players.

The coach showed excellent results in all the clubs where he worked. For example, with “Juventus” Carlo Ancelotti won and it happened in the same season when he first joined the team. But his most striking achievements are connected precisely with Milan.

Career in Milan

Even in his debut season, Ancelotti managed to lead AC Milan to a bronze place in the Italian league, and he also made sure that they reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. The Italian firmly took up his new team and began productive work with them, the fruits of which already appeared at the end of the first season. It was Ancelotti who invited him into the squad and subsequently began to build the entire attacking game through him. The results were on the face. What is the 2003 season worth! Then the team won the Italian Cup and the Champions League. Moreover, in the last tournament they pulled out the trophy from the hands of their sworn opponents - “Juventus”, beating Turin on penalties 3:2.

The following years, 2003/04, Carlo Ancelotti leads the team to the Scudetto. In 2005, one of the most tragic matches of the Champions League took place - then the Rossoneri led the final with Liverpool 3: 0, but something seemed to happen in the second half, and as a result, AC Milan lost to the British after a draw in 3 :3 on penalties. But the team and the coach did not give up, so the next season they bounced back at the same “Liverpool” (as fate decreed), 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 the Premier League, then to the French PSG, where he brought the Parisian team to victory in the national championship. And then, in 2013, he became known as the head coach of Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti achieved a lot in 2 years with the team. 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 to win the most prestigious club competition three times. In 2015, the Italian left the club, as his Spanish team did not win anything in the 2014/15 season. But it is unlikely that the fault of the coach can be traced here.

On this moment Ancelotti does not work for any club. However, a huge number of representations are interested in him, which is not surprising, knowing how high-class a professional he is.

Carlo Ancelotti is an illustrious Italian coach whose career is associated with famous European football clubs. Having brought up many generations of young players, the experienced mentor has won dozens of trophies in national and international championships and was among the three-time winners of the UEFA Champions League.

The boy received a traditional Italian upbringing and, thanks to friendly relations in the family, was a good-natured and cheerful child.

Carlo spent his childhood years on a farm, helping his mother, father and brother work in production and housekeeping. Endowed with a practical mind, Ancelotti with early age understood that small business had no future, and dreamed of a career that would pull the family out of poverty.

Like most Italians, Carlo loved to play football, skillfully passing and scoring goals against opponents. The parents noticed their son's abilities and sent him to a local sports school, which was the base for the youth club "Regiolo". Since then, the teenager spent all his time in training, studying theory and improving technique. When Ancelotti was 15 years old, he moved to the Parma youth team, where in the 1976/1977 season he first appeared on the field in the status of a professional football player.

Cesare Maldini, who became Ancelotti's first coach, determined young player to the position of an attacking midfielder and did not lose. Early in his career, Carlo excelled in this role and helped Parma rise in the league from the lower division to the professional Serie B, scoring 2 goals in decisive match playoffs.

Thanks to these achievements, Carlo became interested in leading Italian clubs and in mid-1979 he moved to Roma, which won bronze medals in the Italian championship in 1981 and 1982, and in 1983 rose to the highest step of the podium. Ancelotti's contribution to the victory was so great that after reaching the final of the European Cup in 1984, the football player was made the team captain and mentor of novice players.

The failure of the 1985/1986 season forced Carlo to leave Roma and move to AC Milan under famed coach Arrigo Sacchi. The talented footballer organically fit into the stellar squad of the new club and became the owner of prestigious Italian and European awards.

After that, Carlo began to pursue setbacks associated with recurring knee injuries. The club's management limited the player's time on the field and soon replaced Ancelotti with the young Demetrio Albertini. As a result, the midfielder left Milan and ended his career as an active player.

In 1992, Carlo made his debut as an assistant coach of the Italian national team, and in 1995 he became the main coach football club"Reggiana", where the main achievement of the novice specialist was the team's entry into Serie A and record number victories in the 1995/1996 season.

next step coaching biography Ancelotti became an arrival in the Italian club Parma, for which he played in his youth. Led by strong players such as Fabio Cannavaro, Gianfranco Zola and Hristo Stoichkov, Carlo led the team to 2nd place in the Italian Championship and ensured participation in the Eurocup.

However, the strategy chosen by the coach at the beginning of the 1997/1998 season did not work. Parma lost the national championship, remaining in 6th place in standings, and the club's management asked Ancelotti to leave the post of head coach. Previous mistakes Carlo decided to correct at Juventus, where he was appointed in 1999. The new tactics did not help to achieve high results, and the coach was fired after the final game of the Italian championship on July 17, 2001.

Ancelotti was out of work for several months, and then invited him to lead Milan. New coach made every effort to revive the once famous club, and in his debut season he achieved participation in the main stage of the UEFA Cup and reached the semi-finals of the tournament.

The following year, Carlo made a number of changes in the team and pushed forward strikers Filippo Inzaghi and.

On May 31, 2009, Ancelotti announced that he was stepping down as head coach of the team and moving to England to manage the London club Chelsea.

In Foggy Albion, the Italian received a 3-year contract, a solid salary and the opportunity to work with young talented football players. Starting a new phase of his career with a setback, Carlo mobilized and won the Premier League in 2010 and then won the FA Cup.

It seemed that for Ancelotti the time for defeats had passed, and Chelsea began new season with convincing victories over eminent rivals. However, by the middle of the championship, the club lost ground and suffered a series of crushing defeats. The final 2nd place in the Premier League was regarded by the club as the greatest tragedy, and Carlo received a settlement less than 2 hours after the end of the devastating match with Everton.

The Italian coach spent the next 2 seasons as an assistant to the chief specialist of the French PSG team, and then replaced Real Madrid as a mentor. On April 16, 2014, Ancelotti won his first major trophy by beating Barcelona 2-1 in the final of the Copa del Rey competition.
