Summary

'Steeped in glory， loved by players for his light touch， he is probably the most coveted coach in the world。' - Financial Times

'a treasury of anecdote and insight' - The Guardian

'Quiet Leadership contains page upon page of insight into his methods from Cristiano Ronaldo， Zlatan Ibrahimovic， John Terry and more'。 - Sport Magazine

Carlo Ancelotti is one of the greatest managers of all time， with five Champions League titles to his name。 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。

Супер книга。 Приятна， четивна， полезна история на един велик футболист и треньор。 НО， Отвратителен превод на български！

Carlo Ancelotti came from poor rural roots to become one of the most respected members of the small cadre of global football’s elite managers。 He has won the Champion’s League six times – twice as a player and four times as a manager。 Also， he is the first and only manager to have won league titles in all of Europe's top five leagues。 His CV includes AC Milan （winning everything）， Juventus （less enjoyable）， Paris St-Germain （Unfortunate）， Real Madrid （Legendary） ， Chelsea （winning the Premier Le Carlo Ancelotti came from poor rural roots to become one of the most respected members of the small cadre of global football’s elite managers。 He has won the Champion’s League six times – twice as a player and four times as a manager。 Also， he is the first and only manager to have won league titles in all of Europe's top five leagues。 His CV includes AC Milan （winning everything）， Juventus （less enjoyable）， Paris St-Germain （Unfortunate）， Real Madrid （Legendary） ， Chelsea （winning the Premier League and FA Cup double） and Bayern （winning the league but ends in a disaster）。 This book is before he joined Bayern after his first Real Madrid stint。 He has won décima for Madrid - the club’s elusive tenth European championship， after 12 years of draught， but got sacked after trophyless 2nd season。 His Bayern stint was catastrophic， after winning the league in the first year （which is a given considering the gulf in Bundesliga between Munich and the rest） but getting out of champions league in group stage and losing the dressing room in the second year。 After couple of low profile stints with Napoli and Everton， he returned to Real Madrid in 2021 and redeemed himself with La liga title and the miraculous 4th Champions League （Real's 14th） this year。 It shows his personal philosophy about management has not changed after the Bayern fiasco。 This book is an unusual hybrid - Both by Carlo Ancelotti and about Carlo Ancelotti。 It is not a conventional sports biography。 It isn’t a kick-and-tell tale of football gossip， but consists of the Italian legend’s reflections on leading talented teams in one of the most competitive environments imaginable， interspersed with interviews with players and colleagues， and summaries of his famed “quiet way” by the book’s co-authors。His quiet way is in truth less of a developed leadership doctrine， and more a description of his instinctive personality。 “Carlo will take care of you，” David Beckham was told when considering a move to Milan， and that more or less sums up Don Carlo's style: calm， thoughtful， authoritative and caring。 People first。 Results matter。 Mutual respect is paramount。 Professionalism and commitment are cornerstone for success。Perhaps， the best insight into how Carlo Ancelotti manages came as the final whistle blew at the Bernabéu in Champions League semifinal second leg （2021-22）， with Real Madrid leading Manchester City 2-1， both teams are tied on aggregate and another 30 minutes in prospect。 While Pep Guardiola drew his players into a tight huddle， explaining exactly what he needed from them， Ancelotti calmly strolled over to Marcelo and Toni Kroos on the substitutes’ bench and asked them who they thought he should bring on in extra time。 Because he wasn’t really sure。 Of course， if Real had lost that game and City qualified for the Champions League final， you could easily spin that anecdote into a tale about how a passive Ancelotti lost the plot， about how Guardiola’s clear-headed gameplan won the day。 Ancelotti has seen and done it all at club level， and yet he is often the first to admit that the first secret of management is that you need a little luck。 But， there’s something else going here as well， and perhaps you only glimpse it in the very biggest games， under the highest pressure。 Mr Ancelotti doesn’t just cherish his players and put an arm around their shoulder。 He trusts them: not just to execute his gameplan but to craft it， not just to assimilate his message but to pass it on and make it their own。 Which， when you think about it， is no less courageous or daunting an approach than plotting and prescribing every last detail to the nth degree。 It’s just a different form of courage: the courage of faith。 And that is the philosophy of his quiet leadership - believe in your players， believe in your staffs to do the right thing at the right moment。 And make sure you have done your best to prepare them for that pivotal moment。 。。。more

Carlo is an unbelievable person， a genius， great with people， the best manager and everyone think so。There you go。 No need to read the book。 I summed it up for you。 In all honesty， he probably IS great， but the book was repetitive and shallow， hence the rating。 I’d hoped for deeper knowledge and some truly exciting anecdotes， but forget about that。 On the back cover the book claims to tell us about everything from tactics to mind games （among other things）。 On mind games: ”that’s not for me”， sa Carlo is an unbelievable person， a genius， great with people， the best manager and everyone think so。There you go。 No need to read the book。 I summed it up for you。 In all honesty， he probably IS great， but the book was repetitive and shallow， hence the rating。 I’d hoped for deeper knowledge and some truly exciting anecdotes， but forget about that。 On the back cover the book claims to tell us about everything from tactics to mind games （among other things）。 On mind games: ”that’s not for me”， says Carlo。 Oh， okay， subject handled then。 。。。more

Interessante libro che uniscele principali tematiche su sport e leadiship， utilizzando il metodo e la carriera di Carlo Ancelotti come riferimento。Il suo approccio calmo lo ha portato a trionfare in tutta Europa， grazie a quello che， ormai， può essere definito il suo marchio di fabbrica。

Parto da questa premessa: da milanista Carlo Ancelotti l'ho sempre amato e apprezzato。 Sia come giocatore che come allenatore。 Questa biografia in cui Ancellotti racconta come gestisce i giocatori e le pressioni è al top。 Anche la struttura dei capitoli secondo me è ottima: una breve introduzione del coautore in cui descrive sull'argomento del capitolo， lo svolgimento e lo schema finale con i punti principali。 Sembrerà didattico ma secondo me aiuta molto。 Soprattutto se si vuole leggere i capito Parto da questa premessa: da milanista Carlo Ancelotti l'ho sempre amato e apprezzato。 Sia come giocatore che come allenatore。 Questa biografia in cui Ancellotti racconta come gestisce i giocatori e le pressioni è al top。 Anche la struttura dei capitoli secondo me è ottima: una breve introduzione del coautore in cui descrive sull'argomento del capitolo， lo svolgimento e lo schema finale con i punti principali。 Sembrerà didattico ma secondo me aiuta molto。 Soprattutto se si vuole leggere i capitoli in modo a se stanti。 。。。more

As a football lover I am always interested on understanding great athletes and leaders。 And Carlo Ancelotti is definitely a legend as one of the few humans alive to win Europe not only as a player but as a coach。The book highlights Carlo's approach to leadership while tells his rich story。 It’s obviously a good read focused on professionalism and the correct mindset but I must admit I was expecting to dive deeper into the game itself （some training and strategy） and this is not there。 As a football lover I am always interested on understanding great athletes and leaders。 And Carlo Ancelotti is definitely a legend as one of the few humans alive to win Europe not only as a player but as a coach。The book highlights Carlo's approach to leadership while tells his rich story。 It’s obviously a good read focused on professionalism and the correct mindset but I must admit I was expecting to dive deeper into the game itself （some training and strategy） and this is not there。 。。。more

Guilherme Tourinho ，

Livraço。 Um dos maiores nomes da história desse esporte e precisa respeitar demais。 Este livro é basicamente o Playbook do Carletto， serve tanto para quem é ou almeja ser um treinador de sucesso， quanto um CEO de uma mega empresa。 Fantástico。

Mat Murphy ，

He has had a great coaching career， and it seems his humble， team-oriented approach is a large reason for that success。

Oscar Mendoza ，

Un libro muy ameno， no pretende ser un texto especializado sobre teorías de liderazgo y gestión empresarial。Se siente como si estuvieras platicando con Carlo sobre sus experiencias y te diera consejos。

A wonderful and inspirational book about leadership from one of the greatest football coaches。Carlo goes through his entire football career and analyses all the clubs he had been working in。 There are tons of interesting details about football club management， relationships with big football bosses （Berlusconi， Abramovich， Pérez）， and big football stars （fx。 Ronaldo， Zlatan， Sheva， Ramos）。There are a series of interviews about the coach’s unique leadership style with his colleagues， staff member A wonderful and inspirational book about leadership from one of the greatest football coaches。Carlo goes through his entire football career and analyses all the clubs he had been working in。 There are tons of interesting details about football club management， relationships with big football bosses （Berlusconi， Abramovich， Pérez）， and big football stars （fx。 Ronaldo， Zlatan， Sheva， Ramos）。There are a series of interviews about the coach’s unique leadership style with his colleagues， staff members， and players。 Carlo himself calls it Quiet leadership。 He is clearly inspired by Vito Corleone’s （The Godfather trilogy） style of management and leadership。 It’s all about family and respect for the people around you。I can recommend this book to any football fan。 It doesn’t matter if you don’t care about the leadership subject – the book is still worth reading。P。S。 It would be interesting to read Carlos’ thoughts on his recent challenging periods in Bayern， Napoli， and Everton。 。。。more

Jack Youd ，

This book felt me feeling quite disappointed。 I wanted to have his sort of season by season view of all the things he won but instead we got a lesson in how to be a successful manager and deal with some of the greatest player。 Enjoyable still just not what I wanted。 Good read。

Everyone who is into football knows the calm Carlo and everyone has a respect for him。 I'm not an exception， especially when in this book you find some similarities with your own way of managing/leading the teams （unfortunately in my case it's not a sports team）。This book is a little bit different comparing with other coaches/sportsmen books。 Here Carlo tries to show that football teams function as standard teams in any other business。 No matter what industry manager you are， similar tactics， co Everyone who is into football knows the calm Carlo and everyone has a respect for him。 I'm not an exception， especially when in this book you find some similarities with your own way of managing/leading the teams （unfortunately in my case it's not a sports team）。This book is a little bit different comparing with other coaches/sportsmen books。 Here Carlo tries to show that football teams function as standard teams in any other business。 No matter what industry manager you are， similar tactics， core values， etc。 applied in football management， should be used by you as well。 In general， there weren't some shocking ideas/methods mentioned in this book， but it was interesting to get more familiar with Carlo's way of calm leadership。 I would give 3/5 rating for this book， but it's Carlo's book - so it's 4/5 ;） 。。。more

Sergio Posadas ，

Un enfoque bastante distinto de liderar con una calma en el mundo del fútbol plagado de caos。 Sorprende como logra absorber todo el ruido que tiene su profesión y se concentra en hacer fuerte el bloque。 Un bloque que día a día forma y cuida y al cuidar de el el bloque cuida de Carlo。 Buena lectura， tal vez nos falto conocer un poco más al Carlo que no conocen los reflectores。

Jonathan Hutchings ，

Weird combination of football management advice and business management advice。 Didn't always feel like the football related to the business no matter how many times the phrase "This can also be applied to the world of business" was awkwardly slotted in。Seems a lovely bloke though and by all accounts has lived an interesting enough life。 Liked these biographical parts。 Weird combination of football management advice and business management advice。 Didn't always feel like the football related to the business no matter how many times the phrase "This can also be applied to the world of business" was awkwardly slotted in。Seems a lovely bloke though and by all accounts has lived an interesting enough life。 Liked these biographical parts。 。。。more

What a guy。 Some brilliant insight in to the mind of a legend of the game。 Carlo’s leadership style is quite unique - especially within the world of football - but undoubtedly effective。 Definitely learnt a fair few lessons on leadership and business in general from this book， and the added anecdotes made it an enjoyable read。 Really want to hit my reading challenge this year， so will need to pick up the pace。 Next up， The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini。

This was a brilliant read， Carlo Ancelotti is one of the best managers in world football。 This book is a inside into his way of thinking， his tactics and relationships he has built with some of the best footballers in the world， all of whom have alot of respect for him has a manager and has a person。 I feel blessed to have him has the manager of my club Everton。 Hopefully he will write a book about his time at Everton too！

Decent but it's ironic to see how his recent exit at Everton completely contradicts the message of this book。 Definitely has made me doubt whether the stuff he says in here is true。 Decent but it's ironic to see how his recent exit at Everton completely contradicts the message of this book。 Definitely has made me doubt whether the stuff he says in here is true。 。。。more
