Carlo Ancelotti has the Midas touch on the touchline and his man-management skills off-the-pitch have struck a chord with Real Madrid summer signing Antonio Rudiger.
Ancelotti brought the defender to the Spanish giants on a free transfer from Chelsea ahead of this season, with the Italian looking to bolster his backline with the addition of the centre back.
Rudiger has made nine appearances for the LaLiga and Champions League holders so far as Ancelotti eases him into the starting XI.
