Ancelotti left his mark on Spanish football: Del Bosque
Madrid: Spain’s national football team coach Vicente del Bosque said that ousted Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti “left his mark on Spanish football” and the possible replacement Rafael Benitez is “one of the world’s greatest managers”.
Del Bosque was asked thrice about Real Madrid after announcing La Roja squad on Tuesday for the upcoming games against Costa Rica and Belarus, as per reports.
“Both on a professional and personal level, Ancelotti has been a man that has left his mark on Spanish football. It’s something that the club has decided, I am the least qualified to do so,” he said, without assessing the dismissal.
Regarding Benitez, who used to be del Bosque’s assistant at Real Madrid at the start of his career, he said “that’s not a decision for me to take, but Rafa is one of the world’s greatest managers”.
The Spanish coach did not indulge in questions about Real Madrid’s interest in David de Gea, Manchester United’s goalkeeper, or any possible problem that might come about if he were to join the team, whose nets are guarded by Iker Casillas.
“It’s Real Madrid’s decision whether or not to sign David de Gea,” del Bosque said.

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.
