How can anyone be fired so often?
Ice-Cool Carlo Ancelotti has suffered the ultimate fate of a manager more often than Fireball Jose Mourinho.
The Italian leads six to five, give or takes the strange 'mutual permission' – which of course can mean what you want.
Yet there is no silver-fox her misplaced, the boisterous blue overcoat fits like a glove and even at the age of 65 he brings to many of his younger colleagues with his elegance and elegance.
That was on Crystal Clear Display when Real Madrid de Champions League ambitions from Manchester City dismantled their own peat three days ago.
From behind, to beat the pride of English football with a final winner of the team against the team that Ancelotti describes as his own 'big rivals' but not even muscle twitches in the pulse in the Spanish technical area.
Ancelotti distinguishes that unique characteristic among coaches. No head scratching, no bottle shovels, no digital probing.
Little few examples of super quiet Carlo who loses the conspiracy with the officials or opponents.
What if you come up with, he also managed Europe's Titans in Chelsea, Juventus, AC Milan and Bayern Munich to keep control is what.
Ancelotti has shared rooms with shady Russian oligarchs, has passed penalty shootouts in Champions League Finals and managed Everton – it is debatable, which is the scary most.
But while Pep Guardiola mucus due to a nervous tap, spindly thomas tuchel jumps and gestures, and gestures on stressful moments reached on his back, Ancelotti has nothing of it.
And only for that must he be considered the largest of all. Five Champions League titles help.
But to reach such heights and still not to break sweat about the egos and the snipes at such a high level in the game, the ultimate distinction is.
While he assembles the newest group of galacticos in the Bernabeu with the expected summer addition of Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool, that characteristic is very useful to him.
The nice guy nature has been undone, but Ancelotti has learned from it.
He managed Chelsea at a peer-to-peer level and treated his players as equals, hoping that they would do the same.
Some benefited from this in his second season at Stamford Bridge.
This contributed to him being fired in the dressing room in Everton in May 2011 – after he won double the previous season.
Despite the non -repellent pressure to work for ruthless Roman Abramovich, Ancelotti did not leave his humanity and will never do that.
After traveling home to Italy, he would wear salamis made by a friend for the son of one employee who was obsessed with Peperami Sticks at the time.
He fought hard behind the scenes for employees who had difficulty cope with life. And the guard never falls.
During his short and surprising Stint who was in charge of a restless Everton team at the height of Covid, he achieved an injury time 5-4 victory over Tottenham in the FA Cup fifth round.
While the goal of 97th minutes crashes, Ancelotti stops to blow steam from the top of his piping hot cup of tea and then takes a sip while his coaching staff loses it around him.
Everton fans with half a brain have accepted him to walk out to join Real Madrid again, where he now promotes his great reputation.
Those with a fully functioning nod are still shocked why he chose their under -performing, overwhelming club in the first place.
When you act at the top table, you must keep your cards close to your chest.
And Ancelotti is smart enough to know never to say anything in a press conference that can really be considered interesting.
The Arch diplomat, he plays the game straight, takes his dismissal money and does not burn bridges.
Ancelotti's only complaint about life in England was the bad standard of coffee. And he has a point. The faded espresso is his most important dispute bone.
And it is probably the reason why he will never return to manage here again. Shame.
Don't sit down to take it
Tottenham fans who protest a protest against club chairman Daniel Levy on Sunday should reconsider their strategy.
Planning a sit-in demo after the home game against Manchester United is the wrong way to discuss things in this time of unrest.
With the team that plays so badly and the entire MatchDay experience is one big disappointment, why would you extend the pain?
Certainly a strike as soon as possible after the kick -off would be much more attractive?
In this way the injured supporters make their point and go home early and instead do something much more pleasant.
It means sweet fa
Apparently Arne Slot will kick himself at Liverpool's embarrassing output of the FA Cup by Tweed-Tier Plymouth Argyle.
Uh-huh.
Unfortunately, with a Premier League title to chase, real ambitions of winning the Champions League and a place in the Carabao Cup final of next month in the bag must give something.
Unfortunately in this case it is our National Cup competition.
As exciting and unpredictable as the FA Cup is, I imagine that it was fourth in line on the list of priorities of lock – and he probably forgot where Plymouth is already.
Vini kicks the city in Tifo
It is safe to assume that Manchester City gave the nod to the most tactless Tifo in football with the gigantic banner who spent fun at Vinicius JR and Real Madrid.
In that case it will be nice to wait to see if the Spaniards go back on Wednesday when they organize the second stage of their Champions League Last-16 Play-Off.
The poster with the Etihad -midfielder Rodri who kissed the Ballon d'Or -Trophee, together with the caption 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' was only successful in the wind of unfounded loser Vinicius Jr.
Would like to know where it is now?
Too bad the poor sods that work in the Public Relations department in Manchester United.
On the day that the legend Denis Law of Red Devils Denis Law was rested on Tuesday, the hard pressed staff in the communication team had to deal with questions that have to be added between 100 and 200 club workers in the final round of dismissals.
Not easy that.
