He has more than 3.8 million followers (2.1M on Facebook, 1.4M on Instagram and 238K on Twitter) since returning to the ‘White House’. 
The historical publication with the most amount of engagement is the Instagram post announcing his return to Real Madrid, which exceeded 722K interactions. In 2021, his average engagement per post on Instagram was 226K. His most engaged post exceeds that figure by 219%. That same day he also published his Everton farewell post, the second most engaged post with 562K.

The increase after the Super Cup 
Real Madrid’s victory in the Super Cup was another communicative moment that Ancelotti was able to share. During this event, the Italian made 14 publications, 5 of them stories. The sum of the 9 posts published on his Instagram, Facebook and Twitter profiles exceeded one million total interactions. On Instagram alone, his posts in Arabia exceeded 716K engagement.
