Ancelotti breaks Champions League record

Carlo Ancelotti, the head coach of Real Madrid, broke UEFA Champions League record on Wednesday when his team secured a 3-0 victory against Braga.

The win over Braga was Ancelott’s 116th in the Champions League, breaking the record for most wins by a coach in the competition.

As per Relevo, the record has previously been joint-held by Ancelotti and legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who both had 115.

However, with Real Madrid’s victory over Braga, Ancelotti now holds the record outright.
