Journalist picks Flamengo's Leonardo Jardim over Carlo Ancelotti | OneFootball

Elias Júnior named Leonardo Jardim as a better coach than Carlo Ancelotti

Carlo Ancelotti has been a topic on every sports show because of the FIFA international break and the approaching World Cup. So, during an episode this Tuesday (31), Leonardo Jardim, of Flamengo, was mentioned by journalist Elias Júnior as being better than the Italian.

During the show, Jorge Nicola asked: “Do you think he (Leonardo Jardim) is better than Ancelotti?” In response, Elias Júnior said: “He obviously is. I’ve already spoken with five former Ancelotti players, and they all told me: ‘Tactically, he is weak’...”

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF THE DEBATE?

Carlo Ancelotti was questioned about Brazil’s tactical setup for the World Cup. Currently, Brazil’s coach has been using two holding midfielders, two wingers, and two mobile forwards. As such, the team is still trying to find itself on the pitch.

WHAT IS ANCELOTTI’S CAREER LIKE?

Despite being with the Brazil national team, Carlo Ancelotti has an extremely successful career history. That is because the Italian has managed Juventus (ITA), Milan (ITA), Chelsea (ENG), PSG (FRA), Bayern Munich (GER), Everton (ENG), and Real Madrid (ESP).

During that time, he won five Champions League titles in his coaching career: two with Milan, leading a team with Kaká, formerly of São Paulo. The other three came with Real Madrid, with Cristiano Ronaldo and also Vinicius Júnior, formerly of Flamengo.
