The leaders of Real Madrid, with Florentino Pérez at the helm, convey tranquility towards Carlo Ancelotti. There is concern about what the team is offering in recent games. At the same time, also confidence that if there is someone capable of turning the situation around, it is the Italian coachwith a contract in force with the Madrid team until June 30, 2026. That link was renewed in last december and after the signing, the Champions League and the League joined Real Madrid's history. It is true that The little reaction that the team is showing in extreme situations such as those experienced against Barcelona and Milan, is worrying.. Within the trust that is transmitted, it seems illogical to talk about extreme situations that can lead to making drastic decisions, something that has not crossed the minds of the leaders. In the current sports structure of Real Madrid, Raúl González and Santiago Solari are the alternatives that could exist in the face of such a possible, distant solution. It's that assumption thing.
The coach assumes the bad moment that Real Madrid has seen.
The conversations started with a meal in Valdebebas with Florentino Pérez and Carlo Ancelotti as diners after Barcelona's 0-4, in which calm was transmitted from the club. It is common for the president to pass through Valdebebas, but less common for coffee to become food. As usual, after the match against Milan, new meeting and greater disappointment. Logical. A reaction is requested, but it never arrives and that is what is leading the current Real Madrid to experience a unthinkable situation for everyone when Mbappé appeared at the Santiago Bernabéu last July. At any moment, the tense calm can transform into something more, although The climate of trust and respect has nothing to do with the latest layoffs of coaches in the middle of the season such as those of Benítez, Lopetegui and Solari himself.

In recent weeks, the club had already begun to recognize that perhaps the work done in summer regarding the preparation of the squad or the necessary balance point, had not been the most successful. There is time to rectify and that is why Real Madrid began to look to winter, accentuated by Carvajal's injury and subsequent results. There is no belief, but there is a need to go to a market not used for five yearsjust when Reinier arrived.
Reality says that they left Kroos, Nacho and Joseluthe first two legends and with weight within the team and the third with a madridista feeling and a contribution beyond any doubt. Instead they came Kylian Mbappé and Endrick, with unequal contribution, one due to little success and the other with little presence.
Ancelotti understands perfectly what is football and the demands of Real Madrid. Understand the criticism, as well as that certain aspects of the team are failing, starting with the attitude and ending with the physical section, as the data shows. The strange thing is that everything was working until last June and Suddenly it's like the curtain has fallen. The show is not over yet, but the results will be responsible for putting everyone in their place. The reaction has to come now or Decision making can be rushedbut support continues to exist within the club towards the figure of the coach.
Last fall The situation has never been as tense as it is now.but that did not mean that there was no talk of replacements and the end of Carlo Ancelotti's time as the club's top technical manager. They talked about names and alternatives. He ended up renewing. Now, Real Madrid denies any approach towards any coach for the next seasonfor which Ancelotti has a contract. If Real Madrid's recent coaching changes have shown anything, it is that they faced the end of the season without a decision for the future made and now is no exception. There is nothing more than check how it was forged the return of the Italian.
