The situation
The probable award to Carlo Ancelotti by Tuttosport, designating him as the best coach of last season , only acknowledges a reality: the Italian already has the status of Real Madrid legend and the challenge now is to stand out as the best coach that has passed through the white bench. Despite his 63 years, he has it within reach: with eight titles accumulated in Madrid (two Champions, one League, one Cup, two European Super Cups, one Spanish Super Cup and one Club World Cup), he is three the next on the list, Zidane, with 11. With the League, Cup, Champions League, Spanish Super Cup and Club World Cup still to be settled this season, Carletto can leave Zizou behind before June 30 . Miguel Muñoz (14 titles) will have to be for another campaign. An unprecedented challenge, but the reality is that Ancelotti is getting used to breaking barriers that no one else had broken before: in the 2021-22 season he became the first coach to win the five major leagues in Europe (Spain, France, England , Italy and Germany) and also surpassed Bob Paisley and Zidane (both three European Cups) as coach with the most Champions (he has four). With him at the helm, Madrid win a title every 23.75 games.
The details
He is, in fact, the most successful coach in the history of Madrid: with him, the Whites have won 141 games out of 190, 74.2%. Neither Zidane (65.4%), nor Miguel Muñoz (59%), nor Del Bosque (54.07%) nor Mourinho (71.91%) reach that level. The only one who surpasses him in this aspect is Manuel Pellegrini, although with an asterisk: he won 75% of his matches, but he was only there for one season and barely managed 48 matches, not winning any titles. In his fourth year at the helm of Madrid, Ancelotti keeps up the pace: 13 wins and 2 draws in 15 games, without defeat.
