Ancelotti “I really care about Carlo Ancelotti, since he is truly a fantastic person: a humble and good man, maybe too nice for the football world where there isn’t much space for emotions” “Compared to Fabio Capello and Marcello Lippi, who are known for being “tough sergeants”, he has a much weaker character and as a result needs the support of club much more. But these consideration don’t change his qualities as a coach, which are numerous, as demonstrated by his trophy case” “He was unlucky at Juve, he had just arrived and felt the hostility of the fans: they accused him of saying some unpleasant things about the club while at Parma. I still remember the banners comparing him to a pig. But I didn’t care, the more the hatred towards him the more I protected him. In a press conference I went so far as saying: “Yes we hired a pig as a coach, and I’ll hold on to him tightly” “Ancelotti was very unlucky, he took over for Lippi in February of 1999 and brought the team to the CL semifinal where he lost to Manchester United who went on to win the competition” “I already had an excellent replacement lined up in Marcello Lippi, who had been pushing for a while to return to club. He came to me and said “Take me back” “Leaving Juve helped Ancelotti’s career. His life changed when I got a phone call in October of 2001 from Berlusconi, who wanted to fire the underwhelming Fatih Terim, he asked me:”Tell me, Moggi, do you have a good coach to recommend to me? I told him one word “Ancelotti” Moggis book traslated by @DavidAmoyal
