[quote author=A-40]Ok positive but by Mourinho's standard a failure! Happy?[/quote]not to sound paranoid. i'l let go. but for the records Mourinho only said his third season was "the failed part".

[quote author=A-40]What was Tito's pedigree compared to Mourinho? Apples and oranges.
How many trophies did he win in Spain compared to his previous sojourns? Ok maybe not failure but least successful[/quote]they are miles apart but only mentioned that since you kinda made UCL the yard stick of success or failure.

[quote author=A-40]Loooool! Was he brought to win local trophies?? Come on man unlike the rest I have nothing against Mourinho I mean even he would admit his tenure in Spain was a failure!
Plus he won just 1 league title in 3 attempts only 1 cup in 3 attempts too! Let's not even talk about his off the pitch indiscretions[/quote]READ the posts by Ortopazz above to see why his stint at madrid is "positive" but not just "good enough" for the appetities of some folks in madrid

[quote author=A-40]Heaviest defeat. Check
Home unbeaten record broken. Check
Finals unbeaten record broken. Check
Trophyless season. Check[/quote]how does the above factors now translate to being a failure. used to think "objective criticism" would say not winning trophies or not defeating "big european clubsides" or not surpassing what has been the norm for years in an environment is seen as failure and not the above.
or would we say because Tito lost UCL and CDR in horrendous fashion transalates to him being a failure this season?

dayokanu: You no see the senseless tackle from Marcelo that led to the penalty or the senseless crosses he was sending in

it happens at times.

but my darling ramos squandered it sadly or would i say happily

[quote author=A-40]He failed at Madrid tho to be honest[/quote]Sorry Sir,

I BEG TO DIFFER.

In his three seasons he all local trophies available.

Just because he didnt win the la decima dont translate to him being a failure.

You guys are just hell bent on creating the impression he failed. Unfortunately, your sourjourn in this crusade will still end up as the failure you want to impress on him.

Jose "The Happy One" Mourinho.

RuuDie: I just do not get it... look at Carlo's CV, look at Henckyes' - yet some certain group of people will be acting as though a certain "Jose" is the beginning and end of football

*smh*

Jose remains a "Special" package compared to the other two you mentioned.

Tomorrow, Wednesday 26 June, Real Madrid C.F. will present Carlo Ancelotti as the first team’s new coach for the next three seasons.

The event will be held at 1:00 p.m. at the Santiago Bernabeu’s Royal Box, followed by a press conference with Carlo Ancelotti in the stadium’s press room

[size=30pt]Carlo Ancelotti, new Real Madrid coach[/size]



Carlo Ancelotti (Reggiolo, Italy, 10 June1959) has been confirmed as Real Madrid’s coach for the upcoming season. Experience, success and reliability in each of the countries where he’s worked back the Italian coach, who lands in the Spanish capital after being voted the best coach of the season in France. Ancelotti, who just turned 54 this month, is a legend on the bench: he’s racked up close to 20 seasons as a coach and is the second active coach with the most European Cup matches. Few titles have stayed out of Ancelotti’s reach over the years: he’s won practically everything there is to win on an international level (2 Champions Leagues, 2 European Super Cups, 1 Club World Cup and 1 Intertoto Cup) and has won the league in the three different countries he’s coached (Italy, England and France). More than accustomed to leading some of the continents biggest teams (Juventus, Milan, Chelsea and PSG), Ancelotti is synonymous with an exciting new project for the club.

Born into a humble family (his parents were farmers), Carlo Ancelotti’s life is intrinsically linked to football. Trained in Parma’s youth squads, Ancelotti debuted in the top flight with this Italian side. He then transferred to Roma, where he won an Italian League and four Cups in his eight seasons in the capital before moving on to his moments of glory in Sacchi’s Milan. There he became a key fixture in the coach’s innovative system, winning two European Cups, two European Super Cups, to Intercontinental Cups, two Leagues and an Italian Super Cup. “I taught him how to move and he ended up thinking faster than anyone. He’s a perfect manager on the pitch”, said Arrigo Sacchi about his former player. Time has proven him right: Ancelotti hung up his boots in 1992, after five seasons with his last team and 26 matches with the Italian national team.

As a player Ancelotti never left his native country; as a coach he’d have the chance to work internationally, something that has enriched him both personally and professionally. He debuted as coach in the same town where he was born, taking over A.C. Reggiana in 1995/96 and successfully leading the team to Italy’s first division that same year. His feat didn’t go unnoticed and it didn’t take long for Italy’s heavyweights to start paying attention: he was signed by Parma a year later. Here he managed to secure the team the league’s runner-up spot and set the foundations of a team that would win the UEFA Cup in 1999. In 1999/2000 the manager took the reins of Juventus, where he coached Zidane. Yet his biggest coaching achievements would come in the same club where he shone as a player: Milan. Signed in 2001/02, Ancelotti headed the team for eight seasons, bringing the European crown back to Milan after nine years of drought and even managing to lead the team to two additional Champions’ League finals (he won the trophy again in 2006/07). His success in Milan didn’t stop there: he also won two European Super Cups, a Club World Cup, a League, a Cup, an Italian Super Cup and became one of the only six coaches in the world that have managed to win European’s biggest trophy as both a coach and a player (Miguel Muñoz was the first).

Real’s new coach headed to England after his success in Italy, where he easily adapted to the completely different style of play. His success with Chelsea was immediate and he racked up a significant triplet in his first year: Community Shield, Premier League and a FA Cup. After another season with the British side the coach signed on with Shiekh Nassar Al-Khelaifi’s ambitious new project in PSG. Ancelotti now makes his way to Spain after being voted the best coach in France and with the League title under his belt after 19 seasons of drought for the French team. The name Ancelotti, then, is synonymous with an exciting new project for any club.

On the second-to-last page of his autobiography, Preferisco la Coppa, the Italian coach dedicates a few words to Real Madrid president Florentino Perez. He thanks him in capital letters for his “chats with the good taste of older and simpler things”, and for always saying goodbye with the same phrase: “Carlo, you’ll be my coach someday”. That day has arrived.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY

Sacchi: “Ancelotti was a guarantee. I asked Berlusconi for him when I started with Milan. He was a master. He was extremely determined, very open and humble. He was the greatest of all. He positioned himself well, was ahead of the play and played in any position. His teams are reliable. They play individual and collective football at a high level”.

Maldini: “Of all the coaches I’ve had he’s the one that has managed the squad most calmly. He keeps his worries and tension to himself and so the team stays calm. The secret to our wins was his normalcy. He doesn’t do everything himself and that’s the sign of great intelligence. That’s why he can win titles anywhere: with Milan, with Chelsea and with Real Madrid.

Thiago Silva: “Carlo understands football like nobody else does. He knows the sport inside out, he knows how to speak to his team and he’s used to managing squads with big stars. He plays on the attack. He always thinks about winning and that’s what he’s done in every country he’s worked in”.

Costacurta: “I’d like to be as calm as Carlo. I learned the perfect way to manage a squad from him”.

Ibrahimovic: “I’ve worked with great coaches, but never with one that had a relationship like that with his players. It’s the key to success. And he’s elegant, even when he talks. His method is soft and very patient. He makes the players feel safe”.

Pirlo: “Ancelotti is the right choice for the teams that sign him because his style of playing is very good. He also knows how to treat the players and that’s why he fits in well in the dressing room”.

Lucas Moura: “As a person Ancelotti is a 10. He knows how to treat younger players and veterans, he reads the games perfectly and his style of play makes players happy on the pitch”.

Cannavaro: “He’s got loads of experience and he’s not just a great coach; he’s a professional that always has a good relationship with his players. Everyone feels comfortable with him”.

Johnpaul88: The effect of Spain's economic crisis continues to clampdown on them, hence they are looking at who to hold responsible for their lack of foresight and planning to avoid what they are going through now.

They must be green with envy on how Messi, an Argentine, continues to walk away with close to €40M annually under their nose, while they themselves, continues to suffer in utter penury and joblessness, hence this rubbish.

However, I have no doubt he'll be cleared. Messi must demand recompense for this embaressement, and heavy must it be.

If Spain needs a bailout from their current excruciating economic quagmire, they should know where to look, not on the world best player.

do you really think the money messi will be fined (if at aaaaaaaaaaaaaall he is found guilty) is what will serve as bail out for spain?

calm down jare money wey no go reach 100,000,000 million dollars.

I believe he wont be found guilty at least not directly in the worst case scenario.

now back to madrid to finish off the catalans

[size=20pt]Nine ‘La Fábrica’ teams are champions of their groups
[/size]

With the league season over for the 14 ‘La Fábrica’ (‘The Factory’) teams, and after more than nine months of intense work and dedication, it is time to analyze the fruits of their labour. The Real Madrid academy has received its well-deserved reward with nine new titles. The youth teams, Cadete B, Infantil A, the Alevín teams, Benjamin A, and Pre-Benjamin have been proclaimed the champions of their respective groups.


Juvenil A was the first winner of the season
The team coached by Luis Miguel Ramis received their reward on the 6th of April after beating Adarve on the road (0-2), two games away from the league final. The youth team closed out a magnificent season with a total of 27 victories, two ties, and one defeat. They also harvested brilliant numbers for their goals scored: 105 goals scored in their favour as compared to 16 against. And their participation in the Copa del Rey in their category, which they are currently contesting, must be added to their good track record.

Juvenil B revalidates last year’s title
The 20th of April was Fernando Morientes’s Juvenil B's turn. The white youth team took the championship based on their numbers two games away from finishing the League when they beat Pozuelo at home (3-0). The team put the finishing touches on a great season, with 23 wins, four ties, and three losses. It was also the team in their group that made the most goals (80) and had the least goals against them (22).

Juvenil C, seventh championship
Tristán Celador's boys also entered the list of champions on the 15th of May. The 7-1 goal fest against Retamar, two games away from the end of the championship, allowed the white youth team to proclaim themselves the winner of their group with 74 points.

Cadete B, only unbeaten team in their group
Cadete B was the fifth team to be included in the list, on the 27th of April. Santiago Sánchez’s boys celebrated victory after overcoming Concepción on the road 2-3, three games before the end of the tournament. The academy team only allowed four points against them during the entire championship and they were the only team that did not lose a single game, closing out the season 18 points ahead of the runner up, Getafe C.

Infantil A won all their games on the road
Cadete A followed their fellow players’ lead, winning the Group 1 championship of the Division of Honour for the category. Roberto Rojas’s team made the title on the 18th of May when they beat Rayo Majadohona A on the road, 0-7. with one game left to play in the league. It was a great season in which they achieved three points in the 13 games played on the road, kissing the season goodbye with a total of 25 victories and one defeat.

Alevín A, last to join the list of champions
The last title for the Real Madrid academy teams came on the 25th of May. Alevín A, coached by Alberto Garrido, overcame Adarve A on the road with a whopping 0-9 to take the title in the last game of the competition. The white team finished the season tied for points with the second-place Atlético de Madrid, but with a big difference on the offense: they scored 194 goals as against 140 for the red and white academy team.

Alevín B, champion with four games left for the league final
The second team to win the title was Alevín B, coached by José Lara. The white academy team took the Group 2 title for the First Autonomous Division for their category in front of their fans when there were still four games left until the end of the competition after defeating Alcobendas Levitt B. A team with an incredible record of goals: 92 in 30 games (i.e. more than three per game).

Benjamin A, unbeaten and top La Fábrica scorer with 245 goals
The sixth La Fábrica champion was Benjamin A, on the 11th of May, after demolishing Barrio del Pilar (12-0) with three games left until the end of the competition. Roberto Tomás’s boys stood above the rest in both games and numbers: they didn’t have a single defeat on their scorecard and they made an impressive number of 245 goals. What’s more, no other academy team made as many goals as they did in the championship.

Pre-Benjamin, full of victories
The youngest La Fábrica players have signed off on a spectacular season full of victories, rewarded with the title on the 26th of April after beating Esperanza 3-1 with two games left to play in the championship. No other team in their group matched their 16 wins in a season in which the team had the best goal average: 106 goals in their favour and seven against

Johnpaul88: Was he not a failure? Everybody knows he was a failure - including himself. He set a high target and rightly so given the quality of the squad. He at best achieved what Unai Emry for example would have ended up achieving.

So if you are making it appear as though it's only Barca fans that want to label him a failure, it's unfortunate. It's pretty obvious that failure is the right word here.

I understand you guy's disappointments. You saw him as a saviour who 'll liberate you from the dominion of the great Barca and restore you at your pride of place and also take you higher. But he couldn't do all that. Little have changed so far. It must hurt so much.

kai, am justy speechless at your comments above.
I tire so tey i no know wetin to reply you sef.

You just point blank incorrigible.Stop knocking your head on the wall to make a point that is not your to decide.

*SMH and walks away disappointed with the logic.*

nitlad: C'mon sharap your dirty mouth there!

Wetin concern you whether imm succeed or not for Real? Why don't you leave that judgement to Madrid aficionados?!

Elenu raso

he aint no different from his other clueless cules.

They are so energetic and enthusiastic just to prove that JM was a failure.

even if not a single person in the madrid hierachy has said he failed.

They refuse to face their own problems just to chase some one elses palava.

elenu raso indeed.

In the last match

Ronaldo was the one calling mourinho to come out of the tunnel.
and yet some mofo believes they had a rift.

Dippset will prefer getting the 100 points at the expense of trying new talents.

Look at Mourinho and Real Madrid this season.
When it was obvious getting the league is far from achievable Mr. Felix simply started fielding people that usually did not have enough chance last season.

So botomline Tito sacrificed youth players for the sake of 100 points, even when it was obvious the league has been won since last year.

Mcleo007: Both players are good no doubt but having two captains on the same boat has been proven to lead to disaster time and again.

PLAGIARISM

Old "running mouth" Cryuff words.

eyoniggar: Alagbala 'trophyless' cable. Kilon happen ni iyin?

waiting for the new caoch that will be sacked to be employed.

NEYMAR = good buy.
good NEYMAR + good MESSI = europe in trouble

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CHAMPS OF EUROPE.
