Carlo Ancelotti is often regarded as tactically less sophisticated than the likes of Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp, relying more on his man management skills. But is this a fair assessment?

Who are your TOP 3️⃣ football managers of all time? 🤔👇
Pep, Ancelotti, Klopp
@@dankshadow5665 Recency bias is nuts
Cappello, Ancelotti, Jose
@@dankshadow5665klopp what a joke
@@FIGBVBespecially with klopp
He was always an underrated tactician tbf
Madrid play very intelligently how they defend etc no pressing at all, no fouls, and when they got the ball they can 1. Counter or 2. Build up slowly very unpredictable team (but you need fast players for this type of play) this is why they will win another champions league
@@HT3897 no fouls? Do u even watch games? It's almost a criteria to be unnecessarily aggressive if u want to be a Madrid defender
@@HT3897 lol ancelotti was the best defending tactician 20 years ago i guess u r just too young for this lol
He doesn’t have tactics he just raises his eyebrow and that’s not even a secret
@@ItsJessseehe's just joking man
Party popper@@ItsJesssee
No, he has the ref on his side.
@@benjaminklapproth2913 no he doesnt
@@benjaminklapproth2913 just bad refereeing all across europe
Carlo is the epitome of the best Italian cuisine - simple ingredients that are cooked well and are versatile enough to composite multiple dishes.
He doesn’t reinvent the wheel tactically - he just plays around with his vast knowledge of tried and tested tactics to adjust with players he has at his disposal.
Pep will join your club and say I can make you the best meal ever but I need all these ingredients first - Carlo will join your club and see what ingredients you have and then cook you the best meal from those
Lol it’s not hard when you’ve had world class superstars at your disposal. His Milan and Madrid sides were practically already the best squads in the world. He had players like Inzaghi, Rui Costa, Albertini, Costacurta, Gattuso etc. Ronaldo, Benzema, Ozil, Modric, Ramos, Marcelo etc. Let’s see him do what Klopp did with the players at his disposal: Sakho, Skrtel, Clyne, Lallana 😭 He’s a man manager, not a tactician.
@@vujhvjvgvfujk9888 he’s managed clubs without world class players and got a tube out of them too. If you think he’s no tactician you don’t know football at all. He just isn’t wedded to a particular tactic, which makes sense given how long he’s managed for. Deluded if you think he sends teams out with just good vibes and they win trophies
@@jameshall9654 And those clubs had nowhere near the success of a manager like Klopp or even a Ranieri. Also changing formations every now and again isn’t tactical genius. Anyone could’ve figured this out if they had this team. Klopp played a box midfield with Trent and Mac Allister as the deep lying sixes. He just doesn’t have a Toni Kroos, Jude Bellingham, Luka Modric, Tchouaméni or Camavinga at his disposal. It’s a miracle he was even in the title race.
@@vujhvjvgvfujk9888 I had a feeling it was a pity party Liverpool fan. No point even talking to you lads, you live in a dream world where you’re so hard done by but able spend £66M on a GK and somehow offload dead players for inflated fees to Saudi Arabia. King Klopp and all that. Ok then pal Klopps the best and Ancelotti has nicked a living being a manager for nearly 30 years just by being a man manager. Klopp only had TAA 😩 nothing do with the fact TAA was getting ruined at RB and he needed to play him somewhere. Tchoumeni and Camavinga spent half the season playing CB and Joselu is an old ex Stoke player but go off. Enjoy the pity party you poor fella 🙃
@@jameshall9654Carlo has managed the best clubs in the world and has only 6 league titles
Lol
Ancelotti is the contemporary version of Alex Ferguson. Excellent man-management, simple but effective tactics, focuses on bringing the best out of what he has instead of moulding players into what he wants, trusts his big players to know what they're doing in the right moments. Ferguson was never known for being a tactical revolutionary either but like with Ancelotti and his son, he knew how to surround himself with people who could help formulate the technical details in areas he knew he wasn't as strong in. He's proof that you don't need to micromanage every detail of play to create a winning formula, if you properly understand your players.
Exactly. Both Carlo and SAF are not as tactically inclined as some of their peers but they are excellent man-manager that get the absolute best out of thier respective teams.
This is a great way of looking at it. Carlo sets up a squad of the best players to be able to do their thing and as long as they do a bit of what they have to and a lot of their magic, the rest of the system works. Not to deny that the setup itself is what makes it work - that's his genius for me. To just put the right lads in the right places doing a less mentally intensive role than some other top managers may require, and still producing results.
I think to an extent, Ferguson didn't *have to* be a big tactical mastermind for a lot of his career, even only 11 years after he went, it feels like the game has *really* stepped up tactically and positionally, so to a certain extent earlier on in his run, essentially having the best players and managing them well as people did a huge amount of the heavy lifting. That's not to discredit the incredible work he did over his tenure, I hasten to add (through gritted teeth)
Ferguson from 1987-2007 won the CL only once and reached the final only once. If Ancellotti had a record like that he would've been fired from Milan and Madrid ages ago. You English fans love using Alex Ferguson as the standard even for managers that are better than him, Vicente Del Bosque, Trappatoni, Sacchi, Cappello etc have achieved greater things than Sir Alex in football.
Carlo makes sure we play simple tactics but to perfection. Everyone knows what to do and when to do. This allows players to have set ranges of duty and also allows them to play on their personal ability. Thus resulting in players believing on the coach and delivering good games, and coach's trust on players increases and we get to have great matches in either extremes of attack football or defensive masterclass.
You know ball
He's a tactical genius, he's just not a strict system manager. He's pragmatic and chameleonic
Ancelotti is not under or overrated. He is perfectly rated. He's not wedded to a particular philosophy that's all.
yes not one dimensional manager like some
that's the beauty of him as a manager but also what makes football beautiful, there's no right way to play
power of frienship! ❤
He does have a tactic. Just like The Rock, he raises his eyebrow. That’s the tactic.
Definitely underrated. Looking back a bit, his Chelsea side were an absolute joy to watch.
Ancelotti is the guy that put 5 midfielders in at once against Deportivo, that finally adapted Pirlo as a regista insted of playing him as an AM and so much more things like that (see how he adapted Camaving at leeftback when needed or how he improved Brahin Diaz). He just doesn't think like a system manager and post 2009 that is increasingly rare in top management, so people often don't get what he does. Is he over, under, properly rated? I hate the terms at this point, so overdone, I don't care, but I am happy that people may talk of what he does other than raisig an eyebrow
I don’t know how you can call him tactically inferior, yes he gets the too players but so does pep and that’s all anyone can talk about with pep. Same when Jose was doing his thing, he had too players but it was always him and his ideas that were praised
He's more like Stoicism. He sees things as they are no more no less.
The 2022 Champions League final showed me how good of a Technician Carlo actually is.
his best apprentice zidane win three ucl back to back using ancelotti tactic
He is the best manager over the last 15 years.
He's obviously adored by his players that will win you games alone if they're afraid to let you down out of respect. If you have that relationship the tactics aren't as important because everyone is playing passionately possibly even above their level
I think one of his biggest reasons for success is taking his managers tactical advice and using it as well as asking his players for advice in key moments as well. He used to ask players like Marcelo on what he should change mid games
Ancelotti says that on attack. He doesn’t really tell the players what to do. But he does organise the defence.
And to have such a stingy defense with no Thibaut Courtois? That’s incredible.
He responded by - buying Jude Bellingham and letting him cook
I wouldn't say tactically underrated, he's just a fantastic pragmatist who can get the best out of galacticos by not stifling them, while still getting them to do something to contribute. It takes a special brain to work out how to make that work. Hell he even did wonders at Everton, and had he not swanned off early into the job after the club had dug themselves into an even deeper financial hole to accommodate him, they might not be *as* knackered as they are now.
Klopp is super system-y and mentality heavy, which shows how my beloved LFC fell off a cliff when one of the two fell to bits.
Guardiola is super positional and tactical planny and needs the right player coached the right way for the right job, hence the seeming blank cheque revolving door of transfers where over the years we've gone "what's he doing selling THIS guy?!" a luxury that wouldn't be afforded to him at the vast majority of clubs, which is why the combination of MCFC and Guardiola has been frankly ridiculous.
But yeah, magic players and an eyebrow are the icing on the cake for Carlo. Man can just work it out.
Carlo Ancelotti is pragmatic and he has changed his tactics over the years. Unlike Pep or Klopp he doesn't have a concrete set in stone tactical idea and is willing to adapt.
If you think either klopp or pep don’t adapt their games then you don’t know ball lmao
Lol it’s not that hard when you’ve had all the world class players at his disposal let’s see him go to a club that isn’t already the best squad in the world like his Milan and Madrid sides.
@@baseformrolf6710 Literally not what I'm saying, Klopp and Pep have a certain philosophy around which they adapt. Ancelotti doesn't have that kind of philosophy
@@vujhvjvgvfujk9888 Lol I am not defending him or attacking him just observing. I am not even a fan of the way he plays. And yes his tactics probably won't work in a bad team, although to be fair, Everton weren't half bad under him
@@FIGBVB Blud literaly used the 442 system for the longest time before switching it up, but sure, he has no filosophy right... Cmon bro you can't be that dense. All coaches have philosophies, and most of them addapt to their current situation. Some better then others, but basicly all do
His greatest strength is his team wins when that eyebrow goes up
Dat hairdo is falling off da head
This is new generation… not in the 2000… it seems he’s so underrated but he’s not… This pep era Ⓜ️
I remember people in my country calling him as the 'first-season manager,' meaning that he was only at his best in his first season but went downhill in the next season and beyond
They were Wrong!!
Whoever said that he is inferior clearly has no knowledge of football. Carlo has always been a superb coach. I have been following football for 20 years now - Carlo has always been consistent and also did not have to buy his success
Carlo has managed ac milan, juventus, chelsea, psg, bayern munich and real madrid. Maybe he didnt buy success in the way that certain clubs and managers are accused of, but being at top clubs with top players certainly helps.
There is a reason top clubs want him
I think everybody in world football rates Ancelloti as a coach
4-4-2 Diamond is not a revolution. Good formation but it either lacks width, or asks CM's to provide width by moving to the flanks (hardly anyone can be a CM and a WG)
Tifo just sold themselves to the Athletic
football made simple at it best
less complicated tactics ridgid position play rather than been flexible
Tactically inferior means "miskin taktik" referring to quotes from one of the most well known pundit in Indonesia
I've always considered Don Carlo of a higher calibre than Pep.

Ancelotti is without any pressure at all which was one of his weaknesses at times. No chance of failing in a club that his current job description is 'filling the space for Xabi Alonso'. Same with Alonso whose current job description in Leverkusen is 'when Ancelotti gets retired'
Right, so he's one of the most successful managers ever and people somehow don't rate him? So weird that he could be "underrated"
That's not a tactic, that's a new strategy. He's a horrible tactician because he never needed to be a good one.
Yea the referees must be include too
What went wrong for him at Everton?
He has a bad team 💀
Uhm , Everton?
@@lilmickey4817 yes. Look it up
Carlo is great, José is better
He's not underrated most of this achievement come with some kind of controversy, like pep at city with the 115
Literally 0 of those charges date from peps time at city lol
Nobody knows ball here. He was losing every crucial game this season with Kroos as a main midfielder. Then he would simply take Kroos out and put Modrić in to change the score with his perfect balling. There you go.
😂
He is a underated rigger
Real Madrid’s best players this season 23/24 were the referees bro stop trying to infiltrate people subconsciously
Xavi is insanely underrated, the things he did with that money is INSANE and then conceding just 20 goals and promoting so many la masia players is UNDERRATED
Ancelotti is sure good, very good. But alas, we will never know the real worth of his genius because of Real Madrid's eternal 12th man tactics, that casts a shadow on everything they achieve in decades.
He also has the refs on his side which helps
Underrated tactician?
Mate his nearest rival couldn't spend a penny and had to make do with a Southampton reject running their midfield and the club that gave them a run for their money was battling relegation last season.
Where is the shame?
and why couldn't they spend any money?
