Real Madrid’s 3-0 triumph over Elche at the Santiago Bernabeu was perhaps a significant event in the outcome of La Liga this season. That win, combined with defeats for Barcelona and Atletico de Madrid, means Los Blancos are three points clear at the top of the table.
The victory was also a significant one in Carlo Ancelotti’s managerial career, as it means he now has 350 wins in the league as a boss.
It was his 20th victory in La Liga with Real Madrid in just 25 games, meaning he has an impressive 80% win record at the Santiago Bernabeu. The free-flowing football on display this season has seen Los Blncos score 71 goals in the league so far.
His is first job as manager was in his native Italy, where he started out at Parma. He recorded 33 wins in the league there, before presiding over 50 victories at Juventus. The longest time he has spent at one club is at AC Milan, and as boss of La Rossineri, he lead the team to 163 league wins and a Seria A triumph.
After Milan, Ancelotti moved to the Premier League, where he spent two seasons, winning 48 league matches and the Premiership title in the process in his time at Stamford Bridge. Before his move to the Spanish capital, Ancelotti lead PSG to 36 league wins and the Ligue 1 title.
The Italian boss is now after his fourth league triumph in four separate countries, and after this weekend, moved a step closer to achieving that.
