The French striker skipped Carlo Ancelotti in the vote for the top 3 best male coaches in 2023 (according to Get Football).
The world football federation FIFA organized a Gala awarding the FIFA The Best 2023 award. Many famous stars in world football were honored. Superstar Lionel Messi received the title of Best Male Player. Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola became the best male coach of the year.
Many Real Madrid fans were surprised when France captain Kylian Mbappe overlooked Carlo Ancelotti in the vote for best male coach of the year. Specifically, the French striker named Pep Guardiola, Luciano Spalletti and Xavi Hernandez in the top 3 best male coaches of the year.
Mbappe dropped Ancelotti’s name in the context of a series of transfer news sites stating that Real Madrid was determined to get the 25-year-old star’s signature in the summer of 2024. Many Los Blancos fans were disappointed when Mbappe overlooked Ancelotti.
Mbappe’s choice is completely well-founded. In the 2022/2023 season, Pep excelled when he led Man City to win a historic treble: Champions League, FA Cup, Premier League.
Meanwhile, coach Luciano Spalletti helped Napoli win the Serie A championship after more than 30 long years of waiting. Xavi and Barcelona were crowned La Liga champions.
