Ancelotti: I’ll probably quit after Real, but if they want me for another 10 years… I’ve rarely been so happy, Pérez brought me back to life

Carlo Ancelotti is one of the most successful coaches in football history, the only coach to have won titles in all Top 5 leagues. However, even his time as a coach is coming to an end and he is not going anywhere after his engagement at Real Madrid.

Ancelotti has spent over 20 years on the coaching benches. And on Saturday, he made history when he became the first coach to dominate all of the Top 5 leagues with a title at Real Madrid. Along with Bob Paisley and Zinedine Zidane, he is one of the only coaches with three Champions League titles.

however, the 62-year-old coach is already slowly looking towards retirement. However, if he is still in demand, he has no intention of leaving himself.

“After this stage at Real Madrid, it is likely that I will quit. But if Real Madrid want me to be here for another 10 years, I will be here for another 10 years,” the Italian coach said in an interview with Prime Sport.

He does not deny his love for the royal club. In the interview, he let it be known that the two teams that have grown close to his heart are AC Milan and Real Madrid. He has already managed the White Ballet in the 2013/14 and 2014/15 seasons and won Madrid the coveted “La Décima,” i.e. the tenth Champions League trophy.

So when the phone rang again before the current season from president Florentino Pérez asking him to return to the Santiago Bernabéu, he didn’t hesitate for a second.

“Rarely in my coaching career have I been as happy as I am now. The call from Florentino Pérez has brought me back to life and I am enjoying my time in Madrid as much as possible,” the experienced strategist expressed his enthusiasm.

And his words are confirmed by his actions. He danced with the Brazilian youngsters to celebrate the league title, then smoked a victory cigar or joked with Benzema. The celebrations in the Cibeles Square confirmed the great atmosphere in the Real booth and the bond between the management team and the players.

It is the celebrations that are set to play a big part in Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final. The club initially did not want to celebrate the league title before such an important duel, but Ancelotti gave the green light to the celebrations in the square.

Happiness, joy and celebrations are the best way to create the right atmosphere for Wednesday’s turnaround, he said. At the same time, he wanted to bring the players even closer to the fans, which he did.

He took the microphone himself during the celebration and sent the packed Cibeles fans into a chant. And then he added: ” Hala Madrid! A por el miércoles!”, urging the fans to turn things around on Wednesday.

Ancelotti has achieved one goal, the league title. Can he meet the second goal and win the Champions League? It would be the first time since the 2016/17 season that Real Madrid have won this valuable double.
