Real Madrid Boss Carlo Ancelotti Name Drops Managers Who Rival Him As The Best In The Last 30 Years
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has answered questions about whether he is the best manager of the last 30 years.
The Italian was asked in a recent press conference about the topic, and Ancelotti claims he is not the best, as managers like Pep Guardiola, Sir Alex Ferguson, and Valeriy Lobanovskyi have won more than him.
Ancelotti then jokingly claimed that even if he thought he was the best manager in the past 30 years, there won't be a statue of him.
Speaking to the media ahead of Los Blancos' upcoming La Liga game against Osasuna, he said (as relayed by French outlet L'Equipe):
I don’t believe I’m the best coach of the last 30 years. I’ve won a lot, but there are coaches who have won more. Ferguson, Guardiola, and before that Lobanovsky. And even if I thought I was the best coach of the last 30 years, what then? They won’t build me a statue (laughs).
