What Ancelotti said about retirement
Speaking at the Mexico Siglo XXI event in Mexico during the international break, the 65-year-old shared insights into his management style and future plans.
Despite his calm demeanour, Ancelotti believes that a certain level of stress is essential for maintaining motivation and disclosed that he will retire when that is no longer the case before games.

“A life without pressure or a little stress does not exist. Too much stress, no, but a little is fuel,” said Ancelotti. “The day I don’t have excitement before a match is the day I have to stop.
"Before a match there is worry, there is a negative feeling thinking that it will not go well, that they will score a goal… When the match starts, everything stops. So, you have to look for calm to handle the situations of the game.
“I will continue coaching until the fire I have for football dies down. Some great things have happened in my life, some difficult moments. My life has been normal. I have been lucky to have a job that is my passion. I am grateful to football for giving me that opportunity.
“I still get nervous before a match, I feel pressure, and as long as that doesn’t change I will continue here. I see myself coaching for a long time, yes.”
