"Carlo Ancelotti is the only manager to have lifted four European Cups and is the coach with the most victories in the history of this competition (118), and he is also the first manager to win the five major European leagues (Italy, England, France, Germany and Spain)."

Ancelotti, 64, is currently in his second spell as Madrid manager.

He returned to the Bernabeu in June 2021, having previously been in charge of the club between June 2013 and May 2015.
