Former Ballon d’Or winner Ruud Gullit believes Carlo Ancelotti is a better manager than Sir Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola.<\/p>\n
Ferguson and Guardiola are widely considered to be two of the greatest managers of all time after winning 18 Premier League titles and the Champions League five times between them.<\/p>\n
But Ancelotti is the only man to win all five major European leagues and has won the Champions League on four occasions – more than anyone else.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gullit feels Ancelotti’s success in Europe makes the Real Madrid manager, who was also his team-mate at AC Milan as a player, the best of the lot.<\/p>\n
‘I think Ancelotti is a bit bigger than Sir Alex and Pep due to the Champions Leagues he\u2019s won! He\u2019s top-notch, and he\u2019s the king of European success,’ Gullit told Gambling Zone, as quoted by Football Italia<\/span>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ruud Gullit thinks Carlo Ancelotti deserves to be ranked above Sir Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola<\/p>\n Sir Alex Ferguson (left) and Pep Guardiola (right) have 18 Premier League titles between them, but Gullit still thinks Ancelotti is better than them<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gullit feels Ancelotti’s success in Europe makes him the gold standard when it comes to managers<\/p>\n Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n ‘Both Pep and Sir Alex are a part of history, but let\u2019s look at what Ancelotti has achieved. He\u2019s the king of kings, better than anyone else, and I\u2019m very proud of him.’<\/p>\n The group stage of the Champions League concludes this week, with two of Gullit’s former clubs, Newcastle and AC Milan, facing each other at St James’ Park.<\/p>\n Both teams still have a chance of qualifying for the knockout rounds, but are relying on PSG slipping up against Borussia Dortmund.\u00a0<\/p>\n Gullit admits he has some sympathy for the Magpies after they were denied a famous victory in Paris in their latest European outing by a controversial stoppage-time penalty.<\/p>\n But there are no split loyalties when it comes to Wednesday’s clash, with Gullit backing Milan to come out on top.<\/p>\n ‘I feel so sorry for Newcastle \u2013 the decision was unbelievable. I think they deserve something out of the Champions League,\u201d said Gullit when reflecting on the penalty decision at the Parc des Princes.<\/p>\n ‘Milan is, of course, my team. I hope they get a result. I don\u2019t know what will happen between Newcastle and Milan. I\u2019ve seen Milan a lot this season, and I know they can play. They\u2019re a good team. It\u2019s going to be difficult for Newcastle.’<\/p>\n It’s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n
