His ability to adapt and innovate has proven beneficial for the teams he has coached. In addition to football management, Ancelotti has also engaged in several business ventures related to sports, including coaching clinics, motivational speaking events, and endorsing brands within the sporting goods industry.
As a player, Ancelotti won two European Cups with AC Milan in 1989 and 1990, making him one of seven people to have won the European Cup/Champions League as both a player and a manager. He played as a midfielder and began his career with Italian club Parma, helping the club get promoted to Serie B in the 1978–79 season.
He moved to Roma the following season, where he won a Serie A title and four Coppa Italia titles. He then played for the late 1980s Milan team and won many titles, including two Scudetti and two European Cups. At international level, he had 26 appearances and one goal for the Italy national team.

His genuine lifestyle and approachability have made him quite popular among football enthusiasts worldwide.
The following season, the club had agreed to sign another Italian creative forward, Roberto Baggio, but Ancelotti impeded the transfer as he once again did not feel that a player like Baggio would fit into his tactical plans.
Ancelotti later stated that he regretted this decision, stating that at the time he believed that the 4–4–2 was the ideal formation for success, and that offensive playmakers were not compatible with this system.
After suffering a first round elimination in the 1997–98 Champions League, and a semi–final appearance in the Coppa Italia, Ancelotti was only able to guide Parma to a sixth-place finish in Serie A during the 1997–98 season, and was dismissed at the end of the season, despite qualifying the team for next season's UEFA Cup.
