Ancelotti’s degree came from the University’s prestigious Medicine and Surgery Department. And at Wednesday’s ceremony, he delivered a speech titled ‘Football, a way of life’. Ancelotti, 64, received his award with ex-AC Milan managers Arrigo Sacchi and Ariedo Braida in the crowd. The tactician received a standing ovation as he thanked family and friends. But his Real Madrid stars may now have to start calling him “Doctor Ancelotti” instead of “boss.”The former Premier League winner with Chelsea said: “Sport has been a great school of life for me. The newspaper indicated that Carlo Ancelotti will deliver a doctoral lecture entitled “Football: The School of Life.” Ancelotti said: "I have earned this title. Some will say that I have done some tests but in reality, I have done a lot and every three days I do one. I will tell my players that they can call me the doctor." It is worth noting that Ancelotti's contract with Real Madrid expires in the summer of 2024, and press reports indicated that the Italian coach will leave to coach the Brazilian national team.
