It has been a week of nostalgia in Real Madrid, who barely said goodbye on Thursday of a legend like Luka Modric, and now tells goodbye to the most successful DT in its history.
An emotional video in her official networks accompanied the Italian, the most times champion, with 15 crowns:
Today we separate our paths again. Today again I take in my heart every moment lived in this wonderful second stage as coach of Real Madrid. They have been unforgettable years, an incredible trip full of emotions, titles and, above all, the pride of representing … pic.twitter.com/f2vmc3yEoJ

Madrid, 'Mi Club'
And in his last press conference, with the peace that gives him the duty, he said: “My work can be judged; there will be those who consider me better or worse coach, but that nobody reminds me of me as a bad person.”
He said he stays with the epic traces that he lived and that “they are things that are not yet explained” and grateful to his template and with each white collaborator: “We have created a very good work environment; thank you all, from the cook that made me the carbonara before the games, to those who have cleaned my room,” he said.
He praised Luka Modric and, without wanting to, confirmed to his replacement, Xabi Alonso: “I wish him all the luck of the world; he has quality to train Real Madrid, enjoy it.”
Without more, he said goodbye … again: “They can think that an era is ending, a golden generation (in allusion to Modric), but this, like everything in life, at some point had to end. Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo, were left … and Madrid remained the best club in the world.”
The reason to go to Brazil
“The real pride is to have had the opportunity to train this club. To get titles and enter the history of Real Madrid. This was the main objective when I arrived in 2013. I can't find another possible way to say goodbye that transmitting all the love I feel for this club, my club. As well as receiving the one that this club has towards me,” Ancelotti said excitedly.
A little for that, because it allowed him not to 'betray' the Amado team, he chose the Brazilian National Team: “I am excited the opportunity not to betray Real Madrid with another club and go to the selection that has more history in football. To the Pentacampeón. It is a great challenge, but I love this opportunity: to be able to prepare a World Cup with Brazil. They will be very beautiful days, obviously. With many emotions,” he concluded.
