Former AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that he was an Inter Milan supporter when he was very young and his idol was the legendary Sandro Mazzola.
The current Chelsea boss spent most of his career with the Rossoneri colours, first as a player and then a coach.
"As a child I was an Inter fan and my idol was Sandro Mazzola," Ancelotti told Sky Italia.
"My cousin who lived there got me a complete Inter kit. From that day forth I was a Nerazzurri supporter.
"Of course it’s impossible for me to say ‘Forza Inter’ now, but I even cried for Inter and I can say that because back then the only way to see them play near me was when they came to Mantova.
"Unfortunately we couldn’t get tickets, but I rather sneakily stood outside the gate crying for 45 minutes. In the end, the steward took pity and let me in for the second half. I remember that Inter scored five goals in that half and won 6-1. It was the only time I ever saw them play live."
