So what are the keys to Carlo Ancelotti’s success? What does it take to win the Champions League five times as a coach? Is it calm under pressure? The refusal to accept defeat whatever odds are stacked against you; that inner belief and confidence – transmitted to your side – that things will go your way in the end? A sprinkle of genius, vision and inspiration and that open, likeable man-management style? Trust in your players as individuals to make the right choices and empower them to express themselves on the pitch? Or is it the years of experience at the very top of the game? There is no situation Ancelotti hasn’t been through before.
