Ancelotti first coach to win title in Europe’s top 5 leagues

MADRID » Not long after being thrown into the air by his Real Madrid players, Carlo Ancelotti shed tears while speaking about his latest league triumph. With Madrid clinching the Spanish league on Saturday, Ancelotti became the first coach to lift trophies in the top five European leagues.

“I’m very proud of this,” he said. “I’ve had a very long season, but I’m still enjoying it.”

Ancelotti won with AC Milan in Italy, Chelsea in England, Paris SaintGermain in France, and Bayern Munich in Germany.

“Now I’m with Real Madrid, and to win with Real Madrid is very special,” he said. “This is the first time for me to win a title at the (Santiago) Bernabéu, and the atmosphere here is special.”

Ancelotti first coached Madrid from 2013-15 and won the Champions League, the Club World Cup, UEFA’s Super Cup and the Copa del Rey.
