Throughout these years, Ancelotti has accumulated an impressive record of 27 titles, evidence of his ability to adapt to different leagues, cultures and styles of play. Among these triumphs, his time at Real Madrid stands out in a special way, a club that he currently directs and with which he has achieved some of the most significant achievements of his career. Ancelotti has reaffirmed his commitment to the white team, renewing his contract until June 30, 2026.

He made his debut on the Merengue bench in 2013, giving the fans two seasons of unforgettable success that culminated in 2014 with the conquest of four titles: the Copa del Rey, the Champions League, the Spanish Super Cup and the Club World Cup. After leaving in 2015 after a year of drought, Ancelotti returned to Real Madrid in 2021. Since his return, he has expanded his legend and that of the club with the addition of a LaLiga, a Champions League, two Spanish Super Cups, a Spanish Super Cup Europe and a Copa del Rey.

His prominence in Real Madrid and in the world in general as one of the best coaches of the time places Carlo Ancelotti among the ten highest paid coaches in the world. The data published by L’Equipe have highlighted the figures that define the elite of the most sought-after coaches in world football, placing the Italian in a prominent position within this select group. Reportedly, Ancelotti receives a remuneration close to one million euros per month, which would be equivalent to about 11 million euros gross per season.

The coach of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti, assured that, “as a citizen and like the majority of people”, he did not like the “behavior” of the president of the RFEF, Luis Rubiales, during the celebration of the Women’s World Cup title.

This level of income places him in seventh position on the list of best-paid coaches globally, a ranking dominated by high-profile names and impressive careers in the field of football. Among those preceding the Italian are personalities such as Thomas Tuchel, in charge of Bayern Munich with 12 million euros, Max Allegri of Juventus, who earns 12.8 million, Graham Potter of Chelsea with 13.5 million, Jurgen Klopp from Liverpool, who receives 17.8 million, and Pep Guardiola from Manchester City, with 22.4 million. However, it is Diego Simeone, the Atlético de Madrid strategist, who holds the distinction of being the coach with the highest salary, approaching 34 million euros annually.

Behind Ancelotti, figures such as Simone Inzaghi of Inter Milan, with 10 million euros, Jose Mourinho of Roma, with 9.2 million, and Xabi Alonso of Bayer Leverkusen, with 5 million.
