Carlo Ancelotti will participate in his third Copa del Rey final as manager of the club. After winning two titles (in 2014 and 2023), the Italian coach is on the verge of making history.
According to MARCA, Ancelotti is presently tied for second place in the list of coaches with the most Copa del Rey final appearances, alongside Luis Molowny and Paco Bru, who have two wins and one loss in the competition.
