Twelve years later, he took the top job at Real, naming Zidane, who retired as a player after the 2006 World Cup, as one of his assistants. 18:50 In their one season together in the dugout, Ancelotti and Zidane led Real in 2014 to a memorable 4-0 thrashing of Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich in a Champions League semi-final match at the Allianz Arena, making the Munich stadium a fitting setting for their reunion. 18:20 Real went on that year to end the club's 12-year drought in Europe's elite competition by beating Atletico Madrid in extra-time in the final and lift a coveted 10th European Cup, after which Zidane took charge of the reserve team. 17:50 Ancelotti was, though, given a brutal reminder of the short lifespan of Real coaches when he was sacked a year later after a season void of silverware. 17:20 He was replaced by Rafa Benitez who only lasted seven months in the job before Zidane was named coach, galvanising a squad that had become disenchanted under the Spaniard and displaying Ancelotti's ability to heal dressing room wounds. 16:20 Both Ancelotti and Zidane made history at Real. Ancelotti oversaw a 22-game winning streak in all competitions, a record in Spanish soccer, while Zidane lead Real to a 40-game unbeaten run in all competitions, also a Spanish record. 15:30 Known affectionately as Zizou, Zidane won the Champions League little more than four months after taking the job. 15:00 Ancelotti was, though, given a brutal reminder of the short lifespan of Real coaches when he was sacked a year later after a season void of silverware.
