Carlo Ancelotti On Monday, he was awarded last season’s coach of the year at the Ballon d’Or ceremony, an award named after Johan Cruyff by the organizers.
Ancelotti (65 years old) led Real Madrid to a wonderful victory in the Spanish League and the fifteenth Champions League.
This award, which will be renamed from this year to Johan Cruyff Tovio, in honor of the former Dutch player and former Barcelona coach, joins a long list of national and international awards that the Italian coach has already received.
Like the rest of Real Madrid’s awards, no one came to collect it because the white club did not attend the Ballon d’Or ceremony.
Ancelotti’s reaction
The Italian strategist was not present at the ceremony to support his player Vinicius Junior, who came in second place in the voting, but that did not prevent him from publishing a message of gratitude for the aforementioned recognition and also thanked Vinicius.
“I want to thank my family, my president (Florentino Pérez) and the players, especially Vinicius and Carvajal.”
With this message, Ancelotti fully supports his players after he felt that they received unfair treatment from the organizers of this award ceremony.
