Former Ballon d’Or winner Ruud Gullit believes Carlo Ancelotti is a better coach than Sir Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola.
Ferguson and Guardiola are widely regarded as two of the greatest managers of all time, having won 18 Premier League titles and the Champions League five times.
But Ancelotti is the only man to have won all five major European leagues and has won the Champions League four times, more than anyone else.
Gullit believes Ancelotti’s success in Europe makes the Real Madrid manager, who was also his teammate at Milan as a player, the best of them all.
“I think Ancelotti is a little bigger than Sir Alex and Pep because he won the Champions League!” He is first class and he is the king of European success,” Gullit told Gambling Zone, as quoted by Gambling Zone. Football Italy.

“Both Pep and Sir Alex are part of history, but let’s look at what Ancelotti has achieved. He’s the king of kings, better than anyone else, and I’m very proud of him.”
The Champions League group stage concludes this week when Gullit’s two former clubs, Newcastle and AC Milan, face each other at St James’ Park.
Both teams still have a chance to reach the knockout stages, but PSG are expected to lose to Borussia Dortmund.
Gullit admits he has some sympathy for the Magpies after they were denied a famous victory in Paris in their last European game due to a controversial added-on penalty.
But there are no split loyalties when it comes to Wednesday’s clash, with Gullit backing Milan to win.
“I’m really sorry for Newcastle – this decision was incredible. I think they deserve something from the Champions League,” said Gullit, reflecting on the penalty decision at the Parc des Princes.
“Milan, of course, is my team. I hope they achieve results. I don’t know what will happen between Newcastle and Milan. I’ve seen Milan a lot this season and I know they can play. They are a good team. It won’t be easy for Newcastle.”
