Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti insists he went into the job at Real Madrid with his eyes wide open.
Ancelotti was sacked by Real president Florentino Perez having led the club to the Champions League la Decima the previous season.
He told Fox Sports: "When I signed for Real Madrid I knew the history of previous coaches, who were dismissed despite winning.
"The last five minutes of the Champions League final was very tense, I had the desire and the feeling that anything could happen. It was a stroke of luck. The Decima was the objective of the year and then there was a big party.
"Although the second season was good until December, there were many unlucky moments."
