Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has further consolidated his place in Los Blancos’ books after his side beat Pachuca 3-0 in the Intercontinental Cup final.
Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring for Los Blancos in the first half before Rodrygo Goes added a second after 53 minutes.
The result was put beyond Pachuca’s reach when Vinicius Jr. expertly converted from the spot to secure the title for Real Madrid.
The memorable win marked Ancelotti’s 15th title with Real Madrid, eclipsing Miguel Munoz’s 14.
In two separate stints, spanning five years, Ancelotti has won a host of trophies, endearing himself to Real Madrid fans.
What is the breakdown of Ancelotti’s trophies?
Ancelotti’s achievements seem even more impressive if you take into account the major honors he has won.
His two stints—2013-2015 and 2021 till present—have been nothing short of sensational.
The Italian has led Real Madrid to the highest peak in football, dominating both the Spanish League and the Champions League.
Ancelotti has won two Champions Leagues, two La Liga titles, two Copa Del Rey, three Uefa Super Cups, two Spanish Super Cups, three FIFA Club World Cups, and one FIFA Continental Cup.
How does Ancelotti compare to other Real managers?
In terms of success chalked in Real Madrid’s history, Wednesday night’s feat sees Ancelotti narrowly ahead of Miguel Munoz, who won 14 trophies in 15 years.
Ancelotti is undoubtedly one of Real Madrid’s greatest managers.
However, Zinedine Zidane’s unprecedented 11 trophies in four years could pose a real threat to how long the Italian holds onto the top spot.
Luis Molowny finds himself in fourth place with eight trophies, while Vicente Del Bosque wraps the list up with seven trophies.
