Carlo Ancelotti reveals the biggest mistake of his career

Carlo Ancelotti reveals the biggest mistake of his career

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has reflected on what his life will be like after his time at the club ends and he retires from football.

"Before I leave, I'd like to win another Champions League. And then one more. This club is special, it's the best in the world," he said.

The Italian coach , who was awarded the Johan Cruyff award for the best in the world last season, admitted that the "worst mistake" of his career was made during his first year at Real Madrid, when he demanded a higher salary.

"It's impossible to make only good decisions over thirty years. For example, I made a mistake here in Madrid after my first year. I was very close to extending my contract; the club wanted to keep me, but I was putting a lot of pressure on wages, and they stopped the negotiation, it was the worst mistake I could have made, however, it allowed me to learn," Ancelotti said.
