Ancelotti inducted into Italy’s Hall of Fame with Maradona
Rome: Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti received the award for the ‘best Italian coach in 2014’ in Florence and was inducted into the Italian Football Hall of Fame, alongside Argentine legend Diego Maradona.
“It’s an honour to be part of the Calcio’s Hall of Fame,” Ancelotti wrote on his Twitter account after receiving the honour Monday.
In the fourth edition of the Italian Hall of Fame, Maradona was selected as the ‘best foreign player’ and Fabio Cannavaro was named the ‘best Italian player’.
The Italian manager thanked the committee that chose him for the award and the induction in a ceremony that took place in Florence’s Palazzo Vecchio.
Ancelotti was granted the award in recognition of the championships he won last season with Spanish giants Real Madrid, including a UEFA Champions League, a FIFA Club World Cup, a European Super Cup and a Copa del Rey.
During the ceremony, Ancelotti donated his Italian national team jersey from the 1990 World Cup.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
