Real Madrid’s Coach Close to Overtaking Guardiola and Cruyff
Ancelotti Must Ensure He Doesn’t Lose to Pep!
Carlo Ancelotti is just one win away from surpassing Pep Guardiola, and the upcoming Copa del Rey final El Clasico holds extra significance for him.
Football fans are already eagerly anticipating the upcoming El Clasico on April 26, the Copa del Rey final between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
This match holds special importance for Carlo Ancelotti. Amid rumors that this could be his last El Clasico, he aims to use this opportunity to surpass a significant record—Pep Guardiola’s El Clasico victories.
Pep Guardiola won nine El Clasicos during his tenure at Barcelona, regarded as one of the greatest teams in history. Had he stayed at Barcelona instead of moving to Bayern Munich, he could have added more victories. Currently, his record stands at nine wins.
Ancelotti also has nine El Clasico wins. If he triumphs in the Copa del Rey final, he will surpass both Guardiola and Johan Cruyff, another Barcelona legend who also defeated Real Madrid nine times.
If Ancelotti wins at La Cartuja, he will reach ten El Clasico victories, overtaking both Guardiola and Cruyff. He would also become the second-most successful coach in El Clasico history. The all-time leader is Miguel Muñoz, Real Madrid’s legendary coach, who won 16 El Clasicos.
