Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has opened the lid on his tenure at PSG and revealed he had many shouting matches with the club’s owners.
The Italian guided the French side to the Ligue 1 title in 2012, their first league win in 18 years, before making the switch to the Santiago Bernabeu to replaced the outgoing Jose Mourinho.
Speaking to So Foot, the manager said he felt frustrated in the French capital because the owners never have any faith in him. He said their desire for instant success only added pressure on him.
Ancelotti, who has won an impressive haul of trophies in his career and managed teams in Italy, England, France and Spain, said: “At the end of the second season, I started to convince myself that something was wrong at PSG. We were leading the championship, but I was not convinced that the work we were doing was right.”
He went on to add: “In any case, I had such a complicated relationship with the club’s leaders. They no longer believed in me, they wanted immediate results.
“They were eager for instant success, but PSG need to work in the medium and long term. The club should not yet think about winning the Champions League. When I was there, every game we lost resulted in shouting matches.”
