Former Italy defender Fabio Cannavaro has claimed that Carlo Ancelotti will be a success at Real Madrid, if he is allowed to leave Paris Saint-Germain.
The Italian coach has stated that he would like to leave the Parc des Princes, amid speculation linking him with the vacant head coach role at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Cannavaro, who played under Ancelotti at Parma, has said that he will succeed if he decides to move to the Spanish club.
"He has good experience to do well in Madrid. He is quiet, very professional. A guy who likes to talk about football, not the crap they are at the moment," Cannavaro told AS.
"The most important thing about him is he's a great coach, who likes to win and play well. He's used to people with big characters or charisma, such as [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic and [Gennaro] Gattuso.
"I like talking about how Ancelotti is off the field. He's not a coach, he's a brother. He likes us to call him Carlo, no coach or boss."
Cannavaro played for Real Madrid between 2006 and 2009.
