Carlo Ancelotti has become the manager with the most victories in his first 100 matches in Spanish football.
The Italian earned his 78th win for Real Madrid in Los Blancos 0-2 victory against Elche, thus beating Jose Mourinho’s previous record of 77 wins.
Ancelotti has only lost 12 games and drawn 10 since he arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2013.
Mourinho was the previous record holder with 77 wins, while Pep Guardiola was third with 71. Miguel Munoz is the third Real Madrid manager with most victories in his first 100 games, with 70. Jose Villalonga reached 64 and Leo Beenhakker got 63.
The Italian hasn’t stopped breaking records since he signed for Los Merengues. He became the manager with most consecutive wins in all competitions leading Real to a 22 matches streak.
He has lifted four titles in less than two years: One Copa del Rey, one Champions League, one European Supercup and one Club World Cup.
Real Madrid made it three consecutive wins beating Elche on Sunday night and moved four points clear of Barcelona at the top of La Liga after the Catalans slipped up at home against Malaga on Saturday evening. The two fierce rivals go head-to-head in La Liga on March 22nd in what will be billed as the title decider.
