Ancelotti reaches another dimension, one trophy away from Munoz

When we talk about the bench of Real Madrid, the name of Carlo Ancelotti already has the status of legend. The Italian's place in the pantheon of deities of coaches of the white team is among the three biggest, next to those of Miguel Munoz and Zinedine Zidane. The position of the three accepts debate, because between them they share more than half of the 15 European titles (Champions) that dominate the trophy room of the white club: two Munoz and three each for Zidane and Ancelotti.
The 2024-2025 season will be Carlo Ancelotti's fourth in a row at the helm of Real Madrid. Big words! Because it is something that has not happened in the Madrid club for 51 years.
In the summer of 1973, Miguel Munoz began what would be his final season as manager of Real Madrid, a position he had held in the spring of 1960. A defeat at the Castejo on 13 January 1974 would ended the story of the most successful coach in the history of Real Madrid. He has been in charge of the white team for 5025 days, a figure that seems insurmountable.
Since then, three dozen coaches have taken the white bench. Until this start of the season, only Miljan Miljanič had started in four consecutive seasons. But in the fourth, the Macedonian's adventure lasted one match, because the defeat in the first week in Salamanca saw his acrimonious relationship with the then president Bernabeu come to an end.
And before Munoz, only Paco Bru started and finished four seasons as Madrid coach: two before the Civil War and the first two in Spain after the tragedy. To get to… Ancelotti.
With the authority given to him by his success in the second phase in Madrid, with two Champions Leagues, the Italian arrives this week with Miljanic on consecutive days as Madrid coach. The Yugoslavian, teacher of the players he had as coaches like Del Bosque, Camaço or Juanito, stayed in charge of the team for 1060 days. Ancelotti will reach this figure on Sunday.
But it will be on August 14, in Warsaw, when Ancelotti can enter another dimension. Because if Madrid wins the European Super Cup against Atalanta, Carlo will overtake Miguel Munoz as the coach who has brought the most trophies to the white museum, 14.
