The Italian coach was the protagonist on Monday in La Tribu de Radio MARCA on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the sports radio station
Carlo Ancelotti (Reggiolo, 1959) ended his spell as Real Madrid coach last summer. He did so as the most successful coach in the club’s history and leaving an indelible legacy. However, ‘Carletto’ was waiting for one of the few challenges he had yet to face in his legendary career: to manage a national team. Brazil insisted and convinced him to seek the long-awaited sixth World Cup.
On the occasion of Radio MARCA’s 25th anniversary, the sports radio station travelled to the CBF headquarters to recognize the career of the Italian coach. During the interview, Ancelotti spoke about his first few months in Brazil, his relationship with Real Madrid, his contact with the club’s players, the evolution of football in recent decades and his views on players such as Vinicius and Valverde.
Thank you for opening the doors of your new home to us. There is more color than in Valdebebas, the Brazilian spirit is very different from that of Madrid.
The office in Valdebebas was much bigger, but different. Here there are many colors, a lot of joy
When you leave Madrid after winning the Champions League, you can only come to Brazil.
Yes, I think so. I didn’t have the idea of going to another club after Madrid. The opportunity with the Brazilian national team came up two years ago and then I renewed with Madrid, but last year we thought it was time to leave and now I’m happy.
