Under Ancelotti's guidance, Real Madrid played with a distinctive style that emphasized balance, trust in his players, and a calm approach to managing egos and pressure. He created a sense of harmony within the team, earning the respect and admiration of his players and fans.
Ancelotti achieved a remarkable 250 victories in 353 matches, making him the second-winningest coach in Real Madrid's history. His departure leaves a void, not just because of his titles, but also because of the leadership and charisma he brought to the team.
As he departs at 65 years old, Ancelotti leaves behind a lasting legacy and a legacy of success. The Santiago Bernabéu crowd showed their appreciation for his achievements with a heartfelt farewell, a testament to his impact on the club.
Xabi Alonso will take over as the new Real Madrid manager, but the question remains: will the team ever experience a similar era of success and harmony under another coach?
