Ancelotti completes repoker

Ancelotti completes the challenge. The Italian coach, the only coach who has managed teams in the five major European leagues, had a pending debt with himself from his first stage in Madrid: conquering the League. He has paid it off the first time. That achievement now also makes him the only coach who holds the title of the five strongest championships in the Old Continent. A unique poker. He won the Scudetto with Milan in 2003-04, the Premier with Chelsea in 2009-10, Ligue 1 with PSG in 2012-13, the Bundesliga with Bayern and the Spanish League with Madrid in 2021. -22.

Ancelotti returned as a cover (he was not among the candidates who appeared in the pools to succeed Zidane) and has had a great season. He won the first title of the season, the Spanish Super Cup; he has in his hands the first big game title, the League, conquered with a wide advantage with four days to go to conclude the championship; and keeps alive the dream of winning the 14th European Cup for the club.

And he returned to Madrid to complete another: get the only League that was missing from his collection. A unique coach who has another milestone ahead of him: being the first to win four European Cups.
