The holy trinity 68
The disparager
Nah I don't think he is at all. SAF aside, the below were all better in my opinion.Genuine question, United fan biases aside, is Ancelotti the best manager to have ever managed in the professional game?
Michels, Busby, Shankly, Paisley, Lippi, Trappatoni, Cruyff, Happel, Clough, Munoz.
I don't even think he is the best of the last 20 years, SAF aside either. I think Pep, Klopp, and Mourinho have all done better in their careers.
For Ancelotti, he has a similar argument against his league titles as Pep. Two of the four countries he won the league with were Bayern and PSG, it's almost a given that anyone would win the league with them two clubs. His Chelsea team was assembled with a small fortune as well. His CL wins are his best achievements to be used to judge him but Zidane had also won 3 CL titles and I don't think he is in the same discussion as Pep, Klopp and Mourinho never mind the other managers I listed.
Ancelotti is a great manager but not at GOAT level in my opinion.
