Carlo Ancelotti Crowned FIFA’s Best Coach for 2024

Real Madrid’s manager Carlo Ancelotti has been honored as the top coach of 2024 at FIFA’s The Best awards ceremony. The Italian tactician emerged victorious in a competitive field that included several high-profile candidates.

Among the notable contenders were Xabi Alonso of Bayer Leverkusen, Luis de la Fuente leading the Spanish national team, Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola, and Lionel Scaloni at the helm of Argentina’s national squad.

Ancelotti’s triumph comes on the back of Real Madrid’s impressive double last season, clinching both the Spanish La Liga title and the prestigious UEFA Champions League trophy.

This marks Ancelotti’s first time receiving The Best award, improving upon his runner-up finish in 2022 when he was edged out by Lionel Scaloni. The recognition cements Ancelotti’s status as one of the most accomplished managers in modern football.
