Carlo Ancelotti will make it 300 games as Real Madrid coach when he takes on Alavés at the Santiago Bernabéu. The Italian coach has so far led the team in 196 LaLiga games, 64 Champions League games, 24 Copa del Rey games, eight in the Spanish Super Cup, four in the Club World Cup and three in the European Super Cup.
I have been lucky enough to coach big clubs and I'm going to reach 300 games at the best club in the world. There's no doubt about it. It has been, is and always will be special to be on this bench; to get to 300 games is not a miracle, but almost,’ said Ancelotti when asked about it at the pre-match press conference.


The numbers of a legend
Only one Real Madrid coach had previously reached 300 games in the dugout. Another legend in the form of Miguel Muñoz, who coached our team for 605 games. Zidane (263) and Del Bosque ( 248) are the following coaches with the most appearances.

The most successful coach in the club's history
The Italian coach shares the status of Real Madrid's most successful coach with Miguel Muñoz. Both have won 14 trophies, in the case of Ancelotti 3 Champions League, 2 Club World Cups, 3 European Super Cups, 2 La Liga, 2 Copa del Rey and 2 Spanish Super Cups. Ancelotti has also earned a place amongst the legends of world football as the only manager in history to have won 5 European Cups.
