Sacchi is urging Milan's owners to recognize the opportunity and bring Ancelotti back to the club. “It's sad to see everyone criticizing Carletto for a Champions League exit,” Sacchi told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “Do they know what he's won? He's a master of the game, not just trophies, but also his human qualities.”

“Real Madrid should think twice before letting him go,” Sacchi added. “I'd give Carletto a call if I were at Milan or Roma. It doesn't cost anything. Let's just keep dreaming.”
