adminLONDON. — Carlo Ancelotti has revealed his method for dealing with the demand of agents in modern football — he simply avoids them. The Italian, who this summer took charge at Bayern Munich as he goes in search of his fourth Champions League crown, has spent over 20 years in club management. During that time, the ex-AC Milan, Chelsea and Real Madrid chief has seen the game grow to an economic level unforeseen during his own playing days.
With greater riches and rewards for players have come greater pressure from outside influences, most notably player’s representatives.
In his book, “Quite Leadership: Winning Hearts, Minds and Matches”, Ancelotti revealed that during his time at Los Blancos, president Florentino Perez pressured him to use Gareth Bale in a central attacking role, following input from the Welsh star’s agent, Jonathan Barnet. — The Mirror.
