Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti has provided an insight into the members of his squad boasting the required traits to transition into a role on the touchline down the line.
Real, of course, are currently in the thick of another historic campaign.
After wrapping the La Liga title a little over a week ago, the capital giants are now just a solitary victory shy of a domestic and European double.
A whole host of Blancos stars have shone en route to as much, with the likes of Vinícius Jr, Jude Bellingham and Antonio Rüdiger having regularly stolen the headlines.
Speaking to the media in anticipation of his side’s La Liga meeting with Alavés on Tuesday, though, Carlo Ancelotti revealed his appreciation for a different contingent of his squad.
The players in question have been hailed for their ‘tactical minds’, with Real Madrid’s headmaster of the opinion that all five could some day go on to establish themselves as ‘amazing managers’:
“Nacho, Carvajal, Ceballos, Kroos and Modrić could all become amazing managers. They have top tactical minds.”
