Playing career

In 1979 he transferred to AS Roma, as captain and midfielder, where he won the Italian championship and 4 times the Italian Cup. From 1987 until 1992 he played for AC Milan. He was in the legendary AC Milan team that won the 1989 and 1990 Champion Clubs' Cups in Barcelona and Vienna. Qualifying countries The 1990 FIFA World Cup, the 14th staging of the World Cup, was held in Italy from June 8 to July 8. ...

Coaching career

His first club as a trainer was A.C. Reggiana 1991. In 1996 he helped Reggiana to Serie A promotion and was appointed as AC Parma head coach. In 1999 he became the successor of Marcello Lippi at Juventus, but was remembered as an "almost-man", because during his time in charge at the Turin based club, he never won a single trophy. Despite so, Juventus played well in both seasons and came close to winning the league titles. That all changed when he went to AC Milan in 2001. Marcello Lippi, Commendatore OMRI[1] (born April 11, 1948) is an Italian football coach and former player. ...

Since moving to Milan, he was nothing but successful. In his first season with Milan, Ancelotti took the team and brought them back to international competitions. Before Ancelotti came to Milan, Milan has not produced since 1999. Ancelotti took them to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup and Milan finished fourth, ending the season at a high note. The following season, Ancelotti, who was threatened and heavily criticized by Club President Silvio Berlusconi due to his defensive plays, was able to adopt a creative play in Milan. He converted rising superstar Andrea Pirlo to a defensive playmaker and played him along with Manuel Rui Costa. At the same time, the striking partners of Filippo Inzaghi and Andriy Shevchenko were dominant and dynamic. Milan won the Champions League in 2002-2003, beating Italian rivals Juventus 3-2 on penalties at Old Trafford. The following season, under the new playmaker Kaká, Milan won lo scudetto (Serie A), as well as the Coppa Italia.

Kaka, please see kaka (disambiguation). ...

Since then, however, the tag of "nearly man" has come back to haunt Ancelotti, with two consecutive league runners-up places (to Juventus, although the match-fixing scandal has seen both wiped from the record books), and a horrific penalty shoot-out defeat to Liverpool in the 2005 Champions League Final, despite having been 3-0 ahead at half-time.

In 2003, he became the fifth coach to win the European crown as both player and coach. The other four are: Miguel Muñoz (Real Madrid player 1956, 1957, Real Madrid coach 1960, 1966); Giovanni Trapattoni (AC Milan player 1963, 1969, Juventus coach 1985); Johan Cruyff (AFC Ajax player 1971-73, FC Barcelona coach 1992) and, in 2006,Frank Rijkaard repeated this landmark (AC Milan player 1989, 1990, Ajax Player 1995, FC Barcelona coach 2006).
