Carlo Ancelotti must have found it hard to understand the reasons behind his sackings

No manager of this era has had to face the amount of unfair sackings like Carlo Ancelotti has. The Italian is somewhat of a Champions League specialist and was the first person after Del Bosque to win the Champions League (in its new name) with Real Madrid.

And yet, a year later, he was sacked because he couldn’t win anything.

Not that it was entirely his fault either as his most important player in the tactical sense, was sold off to Manchester United. However, it wasn’t the first time that Don Carlo had to face the axe in an unjust manner.

After guiding Chelsea to their first ever domestic double, he was sacked the following season for not being able to win anything. At the time, and even now, it seemed like a short-sighted decision from the Florentino Perez of the Premier League.
