Italy and Juventus legend Alessandro del Piero has hailed Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti as the best manager of all time.
Ancelotti guided his team to the Champions League title in his first attempt in the Spanish capital, ending the 12-year wait for the Decima, the club’s 10th European Cup crown. He also lifted the Copa del Rey title as Los Blancos saw off Barcelona in a thrilling final in Valencia in April. The 55-year-old has also lifted league title in Italy, England and France among a host of other trophies.
Del Piero worked with Ancelotti when the pair were at Juventus together at the turn of the century, and told AS that Real Madrid are in safe hands as long as he is at the helm.
The striker, who recently ended a stint playing in Australia, attended the training base in the US where Real Madrid are preparing for the new season and met up with his old boss.
He told AS: “I’ve come here to say hello to Carlo Ancelotti – he is the best Coach of all time and I am delighted for him that he won La Décima with Madrid. That was a special moment for him and for Real Madrid. I’ve played Real Madrid many times and it’s always a pleasure to play in the capital and against such an incredible club.”
