Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti has become legendary for his calm reactions to success and provided another meme during Brazil’s last-gasp winner against Japan in the 2026 World Cup.
The tactician is the only man in history to win all five major European Leagues, victorious with Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
He is also the most successful coach in the Champions League, lifting it five times between the Rossoneri and Real Madrid.

Throughout it all, Ancelotti is known for being a calm, cool figure on the touchline, at most raising a pointed eyebrow or sipping a hot cup of coffee.
Don Carlo did it again at the World Cup tonight when Brazil completed a comeback to beat Japan 2-1 at the 95th minute, securing their place in the last 16.
He responded to the wild scenes on the pitch by urging his staff and players to be calm.
