Not many times will you see a Barcelona legend pay tribute to a Real Madrid icon.

Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta has hailed Carlo Ancelotti as an incredible manager after achieving success with Real Madrid over two spells.

“There is little to say about Ancelotti. His career speaks for him,” Iniesta told Corriere Dello Sport Carlo Ancelotti.

“Having the ability to coach Real Madrid twice, succeed on both occasions; return to a club of that size and make it work again is not easy.

“He’s incredible.”

Ancelotti has indeed proven to be a top class manager, having won the Champions League in his two spells as Real Madrid manager.

The Italian is also the only manager to win the league in all of Europe’s big five leagues. Carlo Ancelotti is well on course for another league title this season.
