Commenting on Carlo Ancelotti`s departure from Real Madrid for Brazil, Diego Simeone stated: «I don`t wish to express myself on his exit; it`s a matter for his club and him. As a coach, and I imagine like all coaches currently in La Liga, we all hold admiration for his work – not just for everything he represented at Real Madrid, how he managed the team, and all that he achieved there, but for his entire career. I am an admirer of his, he knows this. I`ve told him; I like him very much and wish him all the best.»
