Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti has been recognized as the greatest Italian coach in football history by the British magazine FourFourTwo.
Carlo Ancelotti might not be the most influential Italian coach in history, but he is certainly the most successful. A multiple Champions League winner with AC Milan and Real Madrid, the former Italy midfielder was also the first coach to pick up league titles in Europe's top five leagues – with Milan, Madrid, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.
