Real Madrid’s Carlo Ancelotti is making history tonight as he steps into his 300th match as head coach against Alaves! Only the legendary Miguel Muñoz (605 games) has managed more games for Los Blancos. Ancelotti, 65, called the milestone “almost a miracle,” reflecting on his journey with the club.
The Italian maestro has led Real Madrid to two La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey trophies, and three Champions League titles since 2013. Club officials hailed him as “the most successful coach in our history” alongside Muñoz.
“I love this job—it’s special to be here,” Ancelotti told reporters. “I’m not thinking about my future expiry date. The pressure? Bring it on!” The coach, known for his calm demeanor, added that the team’s current 14-point streak (4 wins, 2 draws) shows their resilience: “Draws aren’t losses. Sometimes they keep you in the fight.”
With Real Madrid trailing Barcelona by four points, Ancelotti emphasized the squad’s “mental attitude” and Champions League-tested “solidity.” Fans are already buzzing: Can he catch Muñoz’s record?
