Ancelotti says he will retire when he leaves Real Madrid
Having started his career with Reggiana, the 64-year-old has managed some of the biggest clubs on the planet including Parma, Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli, Everton and his current club, Real Madrid, which he has managed twice.
During this period, Ancelotti has won the Champions League no less than four times – the most of any manager in the competition’s history – with the latest victory against Liverpool in Paris last season.
He has also won the FIFA Club World Cup twice, as well as titles in each of Europe’s top five leagues.
Ancelotti still has two years left on his contract at the Santiago Bernabeu, but the Italian has said that whenever he leaves the club he expects it to be his last managerial role.
As quoted by fabrice romanohe told Italian newspaper Il Messaggero: “After Real Madrid, I will retire.
“This chapter will close my managerial career. Real Madrid is synonymous with high level, so it makes sense to consider this club as the end of my career.
He will also go down as one of football’s most charming men
He added: “Time has changed some dynamics.
“Until a few years ago, the priorities were technical and tactical.
“Now, I am conquered by human relations, by getting to know people, by confronting myself with the new generation.”
