This Saturday, Real Madrid beat Getafe 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu with an agonizing goal by Jude Bellingham at the end at the Santiago Bernabéu. With this victory, the white team maintains its perfect streak of 4 victories in a row in LaLiga.
But with this victory, Real Madrid not only remains the leader, but its coach Carlo Ancelotti reached a historic record of victories at the helm of the white team.
The Italian strategist achieved his 172nd victory in charge of Real Madrid, which equals the mark of Zinedine Zidane and places them both in the second position of the most winning coaches in the 121-year history of Real Madrid.
The victories of the Italian Ancelotti are divided into: 111 in the Spanish League, 36 in the Champions League, 17 in the Copa del Rey, 4 in the Club World Cup, 2 in the Spanish Super Cup and 2 more in the European Super Cup.
Thanks to these 172 victories, the strategist has achieved the following titles leading the white team. 2 Champions League, 2 Club World Cups, 2 European Super Cups, 2 Copas del Rey, 1 League and 1 Spanish Super Cup.
Ancelotti has had two spells in the “White House”, the first since June 2013 with Zidane himself as technical assistant, and which ended at the end of the 2015 campaign. Then the Frenchman took charge of the team from 2016 to 2018, and in 2021 Ancelotti returned for a second spell at the helm of the club.
For “Carleto” this will be his last campaign in charge of Real Madrid, since he already has everything scheduled to take the reins of the Brazilian team in 2024 for the Copa América and the 2026 World Cup. Real Madrid’s most winning coach with several games ahead of Zidane and only behind Miguel Muñoz, coach of the “Meregue” team from 1960 to 1974 and who accumulated 357 victories with the Spanish team.
