Ancelotti: I have been fired six times. The first time I was sad, but the sixth time I felt nothing.

6686 Sports News on November 12, Brazilian coach Ancelotti was a guest on Lineker’s podcast and talked about Real Madrid and his experience of being fired six times.

Is getting sacked part of football?

Yes, that’s part of football. Look, I was sacked at Parma, Juventus, Chelsea, Bayern and Napoli. The first time I got fired I was sad, but by the sixth time I was like, no problem. The key is that you focus on being as diligent as you can be, not on avoiding getting fired.

Alonso

I wish him all the best. I am a true Real Madrid fan, so I hope he will develop smoothly in his career.

There is discussion in the British media about Bellingham’s off-field behavior and self-aggrandizement. What do you think?

No, I never had any problems with him. He is very professional, has a great attitude, works hard in practice and has no complaints.

There should be no doubt, why put a question mark on him? He's so good, I even compared him to Kaká. He has outstanding talent and excellent physical condition. He was sidelined for several months with a shoulder injury in the past and is now fully healthy. He's doing well and moving forward.

The atmosphere at Real Madrid

I am very lucky to meet a team that does not have an ego. Like Modric, Casemiro, Kroos, Carvajal, Benzema, they are very humble and have a strong sense of teamwork. I also established a good relationship with young players such as Vinicius, Valverde, Rodrygo and Camavinga.

The club also supported me very much and signed Bellingham, Guler and Endrick, who are all great players. Because of this we were able to build a good team atmosphere and win two Champions League trophies with the support of the club.
