Since Carlo Ancelotti has arrived, he had emphasised hard work and intensity, and now that is what Real Madrid are associated with. He has playing experience, which makes him different to other coaches.

Sergio Ramos

Carlo Ancelotti is a role model for me.

Filippo Inzaghi

For me as a young player, it's great to have had a coach like Pep Guardiola and have coaches like Carlo Ancelotti and Jogi Low, because you get different impressions.

Joshua Kimmich

I had great relationships with all the four coaches I played under at Real Madrid. They all helped me improve, but if I had to pick the best, I would pick Ancelotti.

Luka Modric

I don't think I've still got things to show Carlo Ancelotti. He has seen me play a lot, even before he was our manager, and he knows what I can do.

Michael Essien

I wouldn't criticise Carlo Ancelotti.

Andre Villas-Boas

Carlo Ancelotti is very competitive, but he does it with respect.

Rafael Benitez

People know who Carlo Ancelotti is. He's a man with a lot of experience.

Edgar Davids

What can you say about Carlo Ancelotti? I talk to him regularly and he made history for Milan.

Filippo Inzaghi

I have been impressed by Carlo Ancelotti, Kevin Keegan, Arsene Wenger, Guus Hiddink, Christoph Daum and Sam Allardyce.

Nicolas Anelka

Conte is the manager who most 'bet' on me without even ever having had me in his team. I feel indebted to him because he's the coach that most trusted in me, most wanted me.

Alvaro Morata

You cannot just copy and paste Carlo Ancelotti. He's been coaching for 20 years now and I have never heard a player complaining about him.

Gennaro Gattuso

Real Madrid wanted me to join their academy. It was a big decision to move when I was 15. It's a key age for a youngster, and you're close to your friends and family. But I moved to Madrid, and my family stayed at home. It made me mature earlier than normal. That was a very big decision, and it changed me in a positive way.

Juan Mata

In Real Madrid C I had a coach, Manolo Diaz, he trusted me from the start. He taught me that if I did good I could play wherever I wanted. And I am very thankful to him.

Lucas Vazquez

During my second year at Madrid, Jose Mourinho gave me a kick up the backside. I wasn't doing well, I wasn't managing to do what he wanted me to out on the pitch. So he chided me, saying: 'Why don't you run in training?' My first reaction was to mutter, 'Oh come on... ' But I knew he was right, I had more to give.
