AC Milan great Alessandro Nesta has paid tribute to Carlo Ancelotti.
Ancelotti has returned to Real Madrid for a second coaching stint ahead of season 2021-22.
“He's a second father, a coach who makes you live well even if he demands a lot," Nesta told Sportweek. “For him, I would have done anything.
“He's one who doesn't abandon the players, even if they make mistakes. He's a sponge that absorbs problems and leaves them calm.
“[Former President Silvio] Berlusconi and [former CEO Adriano] Galliani were people used to winning, who certainly pushed the coach. Yet, he arrived at the pitch with a smile."
