During his time at Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti coached Cristiano Ronaldo. But there is a player he has still not been able to take charge of and he would like to in order to be able to compare him with the Portuguese. That is Leo Messi.

Carlo Ancelotti gave comments to 'The Guardian' in which he spoke about the best players he has worked with during his managerial career. 

In addition, the Everton manager gave a clear answer when asked which player he would like to manage: "Lionel Messi, even if it were just to compare him with Cristiano Ronaldo."

That said, the Argentinian striker for Barcelona is not the only one who the Italian would have liked to take charge of. "Also Totti, I started at Roma and I really like them. He was an idol there."

Finally, the former Real Madrid boss also gave his opinion on the race issues in the USA. It has been a major topic of conversation since George Floyd's death.

"There is a very big problem in the United States. And the Police are part of the problem. If I have a problem with something, the first thing I do is go to the Police. They have to protect people and that has not happened. The Police have made the problem even worse," Ancelotti commented.
