About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

One of the greatest football managers of our time tells the story of his illustrious career through his record-breaking seven Champions League wins.

Carlo Ancelotti has won domestic titles in all of Europe's top five leagues, with teams including AC Milan, Juventus, Paris St Germain, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Real Madrid. 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.

Critic Reviews

Ancelotti is Europe's greatest manager (Paul Hayward)
He's a great coach and an amazing person (Cristiano Ronaldo)
There is nobody better than this international crisis manager to explain how to handle superstar players (Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale), difficult club presidents (Silvio Berlusconi and Roman Abramovich) and hysterical media (Simon Kuper)
All stars
Most relevant
I'm not a football lover. So most of the parts of the book not related to leadership become irrelevant. The narration is great though

Having watched football for a bit now, these nuggets on the thought process, behind the scenes incidents and player recounts are a treat to read/listen to.

Great insights into the way Carlo thinks

You know how you get off on the wrong foot? Well the prologue to the book starts off by a statement which in effect seeks to endear MBA Students and non-football readers. There’s another disclaimer. There are no “revelations”, “never heard before” stories. Mr.Ancelotti just states facts and of course underlined leadership qualities in every story. But it’s not all bad. We do get a sneak peek into the great manager’s mind. There are a few words from players and opposition managers which don’t seem to be censored. But overall the book throws no surprises. And yeah, if you’re an MBA student, give it a go. You may learn more from the book that from your degree.
