Italian head coach Carlo Ancelotti of Real Madrid has discussed what he considers the most significant mistake of his professional coaching career.
For example, I made a bad one here, in Madrid, after my first year. I was very close to extending my contract, the club wanted to keep me, but I pushed too hard on my salary and they stopped it. It was a mistake, the worst I could have made. But it allowed me to learn.
