Comment on Carlo Ancelotti: A Success Profile by Carlo Ancelotti: How to win it all, everywhere - Football Iconic
Reggiolo is a rural cheese-producing town in heart of northern Italy. Famous not only for its parmesan cheese, but also for a certain eyebrow-raising world-class footballer and coach: Carlo Ancelotti. Born in 1959, the son of a cheese producer, he received an honest and traditional Italian upbringing, working on the farm with his father and brother. Accustomed to hard work and discipline from an early age, he developed an ambition to do something more with his life after watching his father toil daily, working the land for little reward.
"Football is not just a job. I grew up on a farm, football is a better life. It is Ancelotti's desire to be something more which took him from the pitch to the Reggiolo youth team, where he was spotted by Parma and snapped up.It was a shock for young Carlo to go from the quiet rural town of his childhood to the noisy and bustling city , but he adapted as he would many other times in the future.
With a dark, almost English, self-deprecating sense of humor that he developed from his father, he is an easy-to-get-together and above all down-to-earth man. -down. A man who lives and breathes football. Ancelotti would go from a scared 15-year-old to an Italian icon, winning a scudetto and four Coppa Italia with Roma, to join that Milan side, led by Arrigo Sacchi - the last side to win two European Cups consecutive.
One of the best Italian footballers of his generation, he left the game and entered the management. He then assisted Sacchi in the 1994 World Cup and owes much of his coaching style to his mentor. Perhaps more disciplined than Sacchi, he retains his philosophical approach to the game. Shedding the 'almost man' label after two second-place finishes with Parma and Juventus, he has shaped the image of a man who will win you trophies.
After eight successful seasons at Milan under Silvio Berlusconi, he won domestic titles with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. Eventually, he would arrive at Real Madrid and win the Champions League and the Copa del Rey in his first season.
"The future of football: more dynamism." The words of a young Ancelotti starting out in management. Ancelotti would guide Reggiana to Serie A following promotion from Serie B in his first season as manager, the latest man to do so. Catching the attention of bigger clubs, Parma approached him at the end of his first season as manager. His home team, the ones that still have pictures of a young Carlo on their walls, were devastated to see him go.
At Parma he would go on to coach a team that included Gigi Buffon and Fabio Cannavaro along with a host of other Italian stars to second place in Serie A. He was developing a rapidly growing reputation in as a former player who now had the pedigree of a successful manager. He had two successful seasons with Parma in which he had reasonable success in the league and in Europe - although that success ultimately...
