Ancelotti swipe at Perez?

Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti has appeared to criticise Real Madrid President Florentino Perez’s understanding of the game.

Speaking in an interview with L’Equipe, Ancelotti was asked directly what the fundamental differences were between managing Bayern and his previous clubs, and his answers appeared to be critical of the way Los Blancos were run.

“They are quite similar as clubs, but perhaps the difference between them is that one is run by an ex-footballer and he understands what happens better,” said the Italian, in what appeared to be a thinly-veiled swipe at Madrid’s Perez.

“Bayern is more like a family whereas some others were run more like businesses and that makes a difference.”

Ancelotti was controversially sacked by Perez in 2015, less than a year after winning La Decima at the club, and after taking a year out of the game is now back managing at Bayern Munich, where he has currently won every match.
