Before Carlo Ancelotti took the reins at Real Madrid and led the team to the Intercontinental Cup, he was named FIFA Men's Football Coach of the Year, which was unveiled on the same day as the first such accolade of his career, alongside the likes of Pep Guardiola, De La Fuente, Alonso and Scaloni. It's a double whammy in just two days. Data show that this is Ancelotti's 15th trophy in Real Madrid coaching, successfully surpassed Muñoz's 14, the throne of Real Madrid's history of the most winning manager.
Carlo Ancelotti has been at the helm of Real Madrid twice, amassing three Champions League titles, three UEFA Super Cups, two La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey titles, two Supercopa de la Liga titles, two Club World Cups and one Intercontinental Cup. His total number of career titles has reached 31, second only to Pep Guardiola among active coaches, with a gap of only seven. Despite the fact that City have no hope of winning the title this season, Carlo Ancelotti is still eager to narrow the title gap with Guardiola. It is worth mentioning that Ancelotti's contract with Real Madrid has been renewed until the summer of 2026, when he will coach Real Madrid for eight seasons. However, he must lead his team to make a difference in La Liga, Champions League and Copa del Rey this season. Currently, the competition in La Liga and the Champions League is still unclear, coupled with the addition of Mbappe, how to improve the overall fighting force of Real Madrid, has become a problem that Ancelotti needs to solve.
