Ancelotti: This is the worst decision I have made, and the day I retire will be a wonderful day

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti admitted that he made one of the worst decisions in his career during his first period with the Royal Club.

Ancelotti said in an interview with France Football: “ After my first season in 2014-15, the club wanted to keep me, but I asked for a raise but they decided not to and I was sacked. It was the worst decision I could have made, but I have learned since then. p>

He added: “Your best title? Perhaps the Champions League title with Milan in 2003. Until then, I had finished in second place several times. I am then thinking about the tenth cup in 2014, and the fourteenth in 2022.”

He continued: “Before I retire, I would like to win the Champions League with its new system. Every coach wants to reach the top. But coaching Real Madrid is real... This club is special, it's the best in the world, because of its history, its atmosphere and its fans. And so the goal was to be in that place one day. Then there is Milan, the best club to study football. I had the opportunity to train them.”

He continued: “Have you thought about the day you will retire? I started working in football forty-eight years ago. So, I started thinking about the day this might end. What could make me say stop? I would like to say that I will stop if Real Madrid expel me. I don't know what makes me stop. my family? No, my wife wants me to continue.”

He concluded: “The day I retire will be a wonderful day. I have so many things to do and see. I would like to go to Argentina, the Maldives, Australia, for example, I want to travel. I have five children, my son is here. Maybe I can coach the team. I'll follow him and click on him. What do you do? The day I stop doing this won't be sad."
