Juanma Castaño Compares Ancelotti to Mourinho, Both Are the Same: 'His Stance...'

Comparisons in the world of soccer often end up being quite negative when it comes to footballers. However, in terms of coaches, things change considerably with some people's interpretations.  In this sense, it was Juanma Castaño who dared to compare Ancelotti with another legendary coach like Mourinho.

"Ancelotti has a club man stance, something he has demonstrated before, but, like Mourinho, if he doesn't have a dog, he'll go out with a cat" were the journalist's words. Obviously, this is a somewhat controversial comment for many, as they have quite a few differences. However, from his point of view, everything fits perfectly for the profile of both coaches.

What he means with these words is that, rather than having a problem with a squad, they always look for solutions. This is something that has made them the best in the world in their respective times and that they have had a brilliant stint with Real Madrid.

The Most Interesting Comparison

While in terms of titles, one has nothing to do with the other, the reality is that the work done by Mourinho was enhanced. The Italian coach knew how to take advantage of a squad full of great players who later became legends.

The Portuguese coach was the main figure in those years he led the team and took it to become the team it is today. That's why the comparison leans more toward problem-solving than anything else.

While both coaches have very different ideologies and playing styles, both are born winners. That is what has led them to engrave their names in gold in the history of soccer for so many years and those to come.

They Will Be Remembered as Legends

Both coaches contributed to the construction of today's Real Madrid, which has turned it into a competitive beast. Therefore, the comparison on this occasion, instead of being something negative, is completely the opposite. Moreover, it is very apt on the part of this journalist who has seen it very well.
