The 65-year-old Ancelotti has one of the most decorated CVs in world football.
When he was lured back to Madrid for a second spell three years ago, after the departure of club great Zinedine Zidane, he knew his only mission was to increase Real's trophy haul and he has not disappointed.
He became the first manager to capture titles in each of Europe's top five leagues — England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France — and has guided Real Madrid to two Champions League and LaLiga doubles in three seasons.
Ancelotti's Real Madrid silverware shows three Champions League titles, two Club World Cups, three European Super Cups, two Spanish League titles, two Spanish Cups, two Spanish Super Cups and, now, one Intercontinental Cup title.
