Italian Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid coach, responded to a question about when he will retire from coaching, after a historic career in football.
Ancelotti explained, in statements highlighted by the Spanish newspaper “AS”: “I never thought about becoming a coach.. One day in Milan, Arrigo Sacchi told me that he would like me to be his assistant, after I stop playing.”
He added: “I learned a lot from Sacchi in football, he was a genius and a great teacher. Experience is something that cannot be bought, it comes with time, to prove to us that there are always things we can learn.”
He continued: “I will continue training until my passion for football is extinguished. I was lucky, because I got a job in which I showed my passion.”
The veteran coach added: “I thank football for giving me this opportunity. I still feel nervous and pressured before matches. As long as that doesn’t change, I will continue here. I see myself continuing for a long time.”
