Description
‘The most coveted coach in the world’ Financial Times
‘A treasury of anecdotes and insight’ Guardian
One of the greatest football managers of our time tells the story of his illustrious career through his record-breaking seven Champions League wins.
Carlo Ancelotti has won domestic titles in all of Europe's top five leagues, with teams including AC Milan, Juventus, Paris St Germain, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Real Madrid. Yet his approach could not be further from the aggressive theatricals favoured by many of his rivals. His understated style has earned him the fierce loyalty of players like David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo.
In Quiet Leadership, Ancelotti reveals the full, riveting story of his managerial career - his methods, mentors, mistakes and triumphs - and takes us inside the dressing room to trace the characters, challenges and decisions that have shaped him. The result is both a scintillating memoir and a rare insight into the business of leadership.
