Carlo Ancelotti, the esteemed head coach of Real Madrid, is set to etch his name further into the annals of football history. This evening, as Real Madrid faces Pachuca in the Intercontinental Cup final, Ancelotti has the opportunity to clinch his 15th title with the club. Such an achievement would see him surpass the legendary Miguel Muñoz, who secured 14 titles during his tenure, thus making Ancelotti the most decorated manager in Real Madrid's storied history.

Ancelotti's journey with Real Madrid has been marked by numerous triumphs. His inaugural title came on April 16, 2014, when Real Madrid triumphed over Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final, highlighted by Gareth Bale's memorable goal. Since then, Ancelotti has guided the team to an impressive array of silverware, including two La Liga titles (2022, 2024), another Copa del Rey (2023), two Spanish Super Cups (2022, 2024), three UEFA Champions League titles (2014, 2022, 2024), three UEFA Super Cups (2014, 2022, 2024), and two FIFA Club World Cups (2014, 2022).

Reflecting on the potential milestone, Ancelotti remarked, 'Reaching this achievement signifies the quality of work we've put in. It's an honor to be compared with legends like Miguel Muñoz, but our focus remains on continuing this success.'

The match against Pachuca not only offers Real Madrid the chance to add another prestigious trophy to their cabinet but also provides Ancelotti with the platform to solidify his legacy as the club's most successful manager. As the football world watches, Ancelotti and his squad are poised to make history once more.
