Real Madrid and former Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti revealed his past aspiration to manage Liverpool in the Premier League, despite ultimately coaching Everton. Ancelotti returned to Real Madrid in 2021 after expressing interest in the club while at Everton, following a failed attempt to secure Massimiliano Allegri as manager.
Having previously led Chelsea to a Premier League title in 2009, Ancelotti shared his admiration for Liverpool's passion and success in the league. Reflecting on a painful memory of Liverpool defeating his AC Milan team in the 2005 Champions League final, Ancelotti criticized goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek's positioning during penalties. While Ancelotti hinted at a potential future in international management, his tenure at Real Madrid faces uncertainty, with speculation linking him to a possible offer from Brazil at the season's end.
