Carlo Ancelotti names five current Real Madrid stars who could become ‘amazing managers’
Carlo Ancelotti has named five players from the current Real Madrid squad who he believes can become great managers in the future. The Italian tactician included defenders Nacho, and Dani Carvajal, and midfielders Dani Ceballos, Toni Kroos, and Luka Modrić in that list.
Speaking about the players, Carlo Ancelotti praised their tactical abilities and said (via Madrid Zone):
"Nacho, Carvajal, Ceballos, Kroos and Modric could all become amazing managers. They have top tactical minds."
Nacho, the current Los Blancos captain, is a product of the club's academy. Modric joined Real Madrid in 2012 and was followed by Carvajal in 2013. Kroos joined the club from Bayern Munich in 2014 and Ceballos in 2017.
Following their match against Alavés, Real Madrid will play against Villarreal next in La Liga on May 19 at El Madrigal.
