Ancelotti Becomes Real Madrid's Most Successful Manager With Intercontinental Cup Win
Carlo Ancelotti wrote himself into Real Madrid's history books as he became the club's most successful manager with victory over Pachuca in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final on Wednesday.
A 3-0 victory over the Mexican side at the Lusail Iconic Stadium in Qatar saw Ancelotti pick up his 15th major trophy across his two spells as Los Blancos manager.
Goals from Kylian Mbappe, Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior ensured the European Champions came out on top and Ancelotti surpassed Miguel Munoz as the club's most successful manager.
Ancelotti's Real Madrid silverware includes three Champions League titles, two Club World Cups, three European Super Cups, two Spanish League titles, two Spanish Cups, two Spanish Super Cups and, now, one Intercontinental Cup title.
"There are so many of them (titles)! I'm delighted, really happy... it's a success story," a smiley Ancelotti told Spanish television channel Telecinco.
"Today I really liked the attitude from the players. Up front, they made the difference, Vinicius Jr had a great game. Offensively we did well.
"We have a lot of quality. Kylian (Mbappe) had a good game, Rodrygo scored the second... We are very happy because we won a title far from home and in the middle of a busy season."
