The former Manchester United manager was also known for chewing gum during games.

Ancelotti downplays reports of rift

Carlo Ancelotti has downplayed any rift with Brazilian attacker Rodrygo.

Many believed that the Italian manager was upset with the youngster after he was spotted giving him a talking to, during their Copa del Rey clash against Villarreal.

The Brazilian did not look happy when he was taken off, prompting Ancelotti to have a word with him, Sports Brief earlier reported.

Ancelotti fumes at media

Carlo Ancelotti has blamed too many personal errors from his team as the reason why Real Madrid lost the Spanish Super Cup final to Barcelona.

Los Blancos were battered 3-1 by Barcelona in the final on Sunday night, with the Catalans claiming their first trophy under manager Xavi Hernandes.

Ancelotti has now refuted the claims that Real Madrid were humiliated by their arch-rivals, stating that it was just another game lost, Sports Brief reported.
