Rome, Jan 20 (IANS/EFE) Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti received the award for the 'best Italian coach in 2014' in Florence and was inducted into the Italian Football Hall of Fame, alongside Argentine legend Diego Maradona.
"It's an honour to be part of the Calcio's Hall of Fame," Ancelotti wrote on his Twitter account after receiving the honour Monday.
In the fourth edition of the Italian Hall of Fame, Maradona was selected as the 'best foreign player' and Fabio Cannavaro was named the 'best Italian player'.
The Italian manager thanked the committee that chose him for the award and the induction in a ceremony that took place in Florence's Palazzo Vecchio.
Ancelotti was granted the award in recognition of the championships he won last season with Spanish giants Real Madrid, including a UEFA Champions League, a FIFA Club World Cup, a European Super Cup and a Copa del Rey.
During the ceremony, Ancelotti donated his Italian national team jersey from the 1990 World Cup.
