FORMER England and Juventus boss Fabio Capello has revealed his pick as the best Italian manager of all time.
Capello won four Serie A titles at AC Milan and lifted two LaLiga trophies with Real Madrid.
But he named Carlo Ancelotti – who also had title-winning reigns in Milan and Madrid – as the most talented Italian to occupy the dugout.
Capello, 76, told Sky Sport Italia: “The best Italian coach of all time is Ancelotti. Madrid played a fantastic game.”
The veteran coach is one of the most renowned football masterminds himself, winning Serie A with Roma and Milan, as well as two titles with Juve that were later revoked.
Ancelotti is a familiar face in England, having led Chelsea to the Premier League title in 2010.

Madrid have kicked off their title defence with four wins in as many matches, leading rivals Barcelona by two points.
Capello is most commonly remembered in England for his time in charge of the national team.
