Carlo Ancelotti, awarded last season with the Johan Cruyff prize for the best coach in the world, confessed that "the worst mistake" of his career occurred during his first tenure at the helm of Real Madrid, when he "demanded a higher salary."

On his biggest career mistake, Carletto also said: “It is impossible to make only good decisions in thirty years. For example, I had a bad one here in Madrid, after my first year. I was very close to extending my contract, the club wanted to keep me, but I pushed too hard in relation to my salary and they stopped.
