Synopsis

Brought to you by Penguin.

One of the greatest football managers of our time tells the story of his illustrious career through his record-breaking seven Champions League wins.

Carlo Ancelotti has won domestic titles in all of Europe's top five leagues, with teams including AC Milan, Juventus, Paris St Germain, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Real Madrid. Yet his approach could not be further from the aggressive theatricals favoured by many of his rivals. His understated style has earned him the fierce loyalty of players like David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo.

In Quiet Leadership, Ancelotti reveals the full, riveting story of his managerial career - his methods, mentors, mistakes and triumphs - and takes us inside the dressing room to trace the characters, challenges and decisions that have shaped him. The result is both a scintillating memoir and a rare insight into the business of leadership.

Goodreads review by Venky on June 08, 2020

Carlo Ancelotti once said "Football is the most important of the less important things in the world". However the exploits of the man both as a reliable midfielder and a formidable manager seem to indicate otherwise. Football has been the lifeblood of this Italian great. He has etched an indelible m......more

Goodreads review by Andre on February 17, 2019

Ein Buch über den Führungsstil eines Top-Trainers... Ohne Fußballwissen konsumierbar? Leider nur eingeschränkt. Hier wird versucht, den "Führungsstil" von Ancelotti ausschließlich mit Geschichten aus seiner Karriere zu veranschaulichen. Lässt man die Beigeisterung für Fußball, die dieses Buch ohne j......more
