Carleto is a true king of Europe. Five Champions in his record, 2 as a player and 3 como técnico. As a Milan footballer he won in the 89 y en el 90. Also as coach of the milanista team, took over the Champions of 2003 y 07 while as coach of Real Madrid, He succeeded in 2014 his fifth title on a personal level that was the tenth of the white club.
