#4 Ancelotti kisses Ribery
While it is true that Carlo Ancelotti is a coach that doesn’t so much emotion on the touchline, what can’t be denied is that he is one of finest man-managers in the game. It was his man management abilities that helped Real Madrid win the unprecedented 10th Champions League.
It was his man management abilities that had every Real Madrid player upset when he was sacked. The Italian knows how to keep a squad happy—and this is one of the perfect examples.
After being subbed off in the 71st minute while leading 4-1 against Dortmund in April, Franck Ribery was livid with the decision and confronted the Italian. Any other manager would have gotten angry and ordered the Frenchman to the bench but not Ancelotti.
The former Milan tactician kissed Ribery on the cheek to calm him down; a trick that instantly worked as everyone—including the Frenchman—were all smiles.
