Carlo Ancelotti, recognised as the best coach of 2024, recently sat down with France Football to reflect on the highs and lows of his remarkable coaching career spanning more than 30 years.
During the interview, the Real Madrid manager candidly shared his insights, including what he considers to be his biggest mistake in coaching, his most memorable teams, and his unique approach to building relationships with players.
Reflecting on his biggest mistake
Ancelotti acknowledges that mistakes are inevitable in a career as lengthy as his. One moment he particularly regrets took place during the 2014/15 season, a time when he was in talks to renew his contract.
“Making only good decisions in 30 years of career is impossible. For example, I had a bad year here (2014/15 season) and I was close to renewing,” he began saying.
While the club was interested in keeping him on, he admits that he pushed a little too hard regarding his salary expectations, which ultimately brought negotiations to a halt.
“The club wanted to keep me, but I pushed too hard regarding my salary and they stopped the negotiation. It was the worst mistake I could have made, but it allowed me to learn.”
