Carlo Ancelotti makes history as first manager to ever win all five European leagues after Real Madrid triumph
REAL Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has made history by becoming the first ever manager to win each of Europe’s top five leagues.
Following on from Real Madrid’s 4-0 demolition of Espanyol earlier today, Los Blancos secured their 35th La Liga title.
Ancelotti, who has managed Premier League sides Chelsea and Everton, completed a clean sweep of all the top five leagues by winning La Liga this season.
The 62-year-old started off his quest by winning Serie A with AC Milan in 2004.
He then added the Premier League with Chelsea in 2010, the Ligue 1 title with Paris Saint-Germain in 2013 and the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich in 2017.
Madrid are also still in the hunt for a double this season, with a spot in the Champions League final on the line if they can overcome Manchester City in the second leg on Wednesday.

City managed to carve out a one-goal advantage over Ancelotti’s side thanks to a thrilling 4-3 victory.
Ancelotti has already won the Champions League with Madrid, kickstarting an unprecedented period of dominance with four in the space of five years.
In total the Italian has now won an incredible 21 trophies as well as twice winning the world’s best coach award in 2006 and in the 2013/14 season.
Most prominently for fans of the Premier League, Ancelotti won the double when he was manager of Chelsea in the 2009/10 season, pipping Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United by a single point.
