Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has opened up on his “personal problems” with Valencia coach Gennaro Gattuso – whom he coached at AC Milan.
Ancelotti is aiming to retain Madrid’s Spanish Supercopa crown and they will take on Gattuso’s side in the semi-final. Los Blancos are aiming to recover after losing to Villarreal in LaLiga at the weekend – the club’s first ever match without a Spanish player in their starting line-up.
It comes as the Italian boss convincingly won the IFFHS coach of the year award with a whopping 245 points as Pep Guardiola ranked second on just 45 points and Walid Regragui ranked third with 40 points, having guided Morocco to the semi-finals of the World Cup.
