5 differences between Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti?

#3 Man-management

The Real Madrid players adored Ancelotti

While it has been reported that Carlo Ancelotti had lost the dressing room at the Allianz with at least five players turning their backs on him, his history makes it impossible to deny that he is one of the best man-managers in the game.

The fact that he managed to subside the egos in Real Madrid’s dressing room and forge a winning machine at the Bernabeu is a good enough testament in itself to claim that the former Juventus boss is great when it comes to managing players.

It is of little wonder as to why every player at Real Madrid was upset with his sacking, which is what happened at Chelsea when he was shown the door by Roman Abramovic. Also, you will find it very hard to find a player that insults the Italian.

And this is where Pep Guardiola loses out.

Even though the former midfielder left Bayern on good terms, there have been a number of players who insulted him during or after being managed by him. Some of them include big players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Samuel Eto’o and Yaya Toure.

This just proves that when it comes to managing the egos of the stars, Ancelotti is perhaps the better man.
