Let’s see what happened to the superstars brought to Paris Saint-Germain under the supervision of Carlo Ancelotti.If a Middle Eastern tycoon takes over a football club and can spend lavishly to aim for success, who would they want as their manager? Carlo Ancelotti would surely top the list. Big players like playing for Carlo. He gives them a tactical plan, makes them feel loved, inspires them. Anyway, PSG did just that. And how did the players he was given money to bring to PSG perform?

Maxwell

The Brazilian left-back, was part of what was considered Barcelona’s best-ever lineup, but he spent most of his time in Paris after Carlo brought him into his revolution. He is now the assistant sporting director at PSG and is one of the club’s all-time great players.

Ronan Le Crom

Paris signed a contract with Le Crom, a goalkeeper, from Grenoble. He played only one match before retiring in France.

Alex

The Brazilian player spent 3 years dominating Ligue 1 before moving to Milan for a few years before retiring. Serie A was the only league Alex played in where he did not win the title.

Thiago Motta

One of the greatest Oriundi (a football term referring to players of Italian descent born in Latin America and then returning to Italy to play) to date, Thiago Motta is a midfielder who was once underrated despite playing for some of Europe’s biggest clubs. Now, he’s one of the most intriguing football managers in the world.

Motta’s Bologna team is currently 4th in Serie A and looks set to secure a spot in next season’s Champions League. This would be their highest achievement since winning Serie A in 1964. If he chooses to leave Bologna, fans might expect him to join a big club. Manchester United has been linked.

Ezequiel Lavezzi

The FIFA speed king left Napoli for Paris and played a crucial role in the French giants’ overhaul. Carlo surely knew all about Ezequiel from his time in Italy. He was a fantastic dribbler. The Argentine player retired in 2019 at Hebei China Fortune.

Thiago Silva

Thiago Silva was a defensive monster at PSG, becoming one of their all-time greats.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Lots of goals, lots of battles, lots of self-proclaimed god-like status. He retired last year after several years with AC Milan.

Marco Verratti

He’s a beautiful passer with excellent control. The Italian midfielder moved to Saudi Arabia last year in the mass summer exodus and is currently playing for Al-Arabi.

Gregory van der Wiel

The Dutch player joined PSG from Ajax as a right-back, but he’s very versatile and can play in defense or midfield if needed. After 4 successful years in Paris, Van der Wiel impressed in Turkey and Italy before joining Toronto FC, where he wore the number 9 shirt.

Lucas Moura

Lucas joined the French club from Sao Paulo’s youth team. After his time in Paris, the Brazilian player made Champions League history with a hat-trick that took Tottenham to the final, completing an incredible comeback against Ajax.

David Beckham

Beckham was an inevitable signing for PSG. Becks has now established a soccer club in Miami in the truest sense.
