UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov has paid tribute to Carlo Ancelotti following his exit from Real Madrid. The Italian manager parted ways with the LaLiga giants at the end of the season, bowing out with a 2-0 win over Real Sociedad over the weekend.
Ancelotti departs the Santiago Bernabeu as one of the greatest managers in the club’s illustrious history. The Italian has won 15 trophies during his two stints at the club, the most by any Los Blancos manager.
However, Ancelotti endured a mixed final campaign with Real Madrid. While he helped Los Blancos win the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, the team faltered in the league and the Champions League.
The Spanish giants also lost the Copa del Rey and the Supercopa de Espana finals to Barcelona, who also did a double over them in the league. Real Madrid ultimately opted to part ways with the Italian tactician, and have since replaced him with former Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso.
Nurmagomedov recently took to social media to heap praise on the legendary manager. The UFC Icon shared a social media post highlighting Ancelotti’s achievements on his Instagram Story, with the following message:
Carlo Ancelotti has already taken over as the new Brazil manager and will be in charge of an international team for the first time in his career.
Freshly appointed Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso has heaped praise on Carlo Ancelotti after taking over at the Santiago Bernabeu. The former Spanish midfielder played under the Italian tactician at both Los Blancos and Bayern Munich.
During his unveiling at the Valdebebas training ground, Alonso said he learnt a lot from Ancelotti.
Alonso also labeled his arrival as the start of a new era.
Alonso’s tenure will officially begin on June 1.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina’s glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
