Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has discussed the secret of his man-management.
The Italian is preparing for the weekend's Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund.
Ancelotti said: I believe that a fundamental aspect of our life are the interpersonal relationships. It is the most important thing, always based on respect for the person. It is what I want to do because I feel good doing this. I hope that the players and the people who work with me understand this. The interpersonal relationship is more important than the professional one.
I'm not a psychologist, but I have a lot of experience in dressing rooms. The relationships are the most important things. I try to speak to people with respect, not only about sports, but also about personal life.
"We are in an environment with 50 people, I spend more time with my players than with my wife or my kids, so if there is not a good working environment, we are not doing a good job."
