Carlo Ancelotti continues to make history with Real Madrid. The Italian coach has become the coach with the most titles in the history of the white club, with a total of 15 trophies. With the Intercontinental Cup victory, the Italian coach surpassed Miguel Muñoz, whom he equaled in August this year with the victory in the European Super Cup against Atalanta.

"It's something important for me, to achieve so much success with this club. I believe I've done a good job and I want to continue doing it. Of course, it's an honor to be compared to such great coaches," Ancelotti said at the press conference before the final.

Asked which title is the most special to him among the 15 he has won as Real Madrid coach, Ancelotti replied: "It's difficult to choose for this, but 'La Décima' was special for me and Real Madrid. Also the Champions League victory in Paris. If I had to choose, it would be these two titles."

This Intercontinental Cup is the first in Ancelotti's career, although he has previously won two Club World Cups. For the first time in history, the Intercontinental Cup and the Club World Cup are being held as separate tournaments. These two competitions have always had the same goal: to crown the best football team in the world.

The Italian coach's list of successes with Real Madrid now includes:

3 Champions League

2 Club World Cups

3 European Super Cups

2 The League

2 King's Cups

2 Spanish Super Cups

1 Intercontinental Cup

Historical comparisons – During Real Madrid's three previous Intercontinental Cup victories (1960, 1998, 2002), the Whites were managed by Miguel Muñoz (1960), Guus Hiddink (1998) and Vicente del Bosque (2002). For Ancelotti, this is his first victory in this competition, after losing the final with Milan in 2003 to Boca Juniors. Therefore, this victory has a special meaning for the Italian coach.

Miguel Muñoz's record remains – Despite the Italian coach's achievement, Miguel Muñoz still holds the record for the longest tenure at the helm of Real Madrid, with 14 years as coach (1959-1974). During this period, he managed 605 matches and won:

2 European Cups (now Champions League)

1 Intercontinental Cup

9 The League

2 Spanish Cups (now the King's Cup)

Coaches with the most titles in Real Madrid history:

1- Carlo Ancelotti: 15 titles

2- Michel Munoz: 14 points

3- Zinedine Zidane: 11 titles

4- Vicente Del Bosque: 7 titles

5- Leo Beenhacker: 6 points
