A defeat at Bologna in August 2008 remains Ancelotti’s only 27 starts in Europe’s top leagues.
In no club has his appearance been more extraordinary than in Real Madrid. In 177 games as coach of Real Madrid, the victory with Almeria was the 130th.
73.45 percent is the percentage of his victories as coach of Real Madrid. The highest of the 10 teams he has coached, followed closely by Bayern Munich at 70 percent.
Interestingly, his lowest match win percentage comes when he led Reggiana in Serie A. That year he won 41.46 percent of his matches, which was enough to finish fourth.
Real Madrid’s winning percentage
When Real Madrid visit Celta Vigo this Saturday, Ancelotti will draw level with Jose Mourinho on 178 games in charge of Los Blancos. He is now in sixth place on the list.
In front is the well-known figure Miguel Munoz, with 605 games in 16 seasons. But when it comes to winning percentage, no one can match Ancelotti’s 73.45 percent. He is ahead of Mourinho who has 71.91 percent.
The difference is clearer when comparing with title wins. With the Italian, eight titles have reached the museum of Real Madrid, including two Champions Leagues.
With Mourinho on the bench, Real Madrid were declared champions three times, winning the Copa del Rey in 2011, La Liga in 2012 and the Spanish Super Cup.
The Champions League caused Mourinho’s sacking. He had sent Real Madrid to the round of 16, but was eliminated three times in the semi-finals. /Express newspaper/
