Real Madrid has regained some serenity after several days marked by persistent rumors surrounding the future of Carlo Ancelotti.
The Italian coach spoke out to clarify his situation and deny speculation regarding a possible early departure at the end of the season. During a recent press conference, the Italian technician, under contract with Real Madrid until 2025, wanted to reaffirm his attachment to the club and cut short the rumors. “ I want to be very clear, the date of my departure from this club, I will never decide in my life. That day will come, but I don't know when. It's not up to me to decide. It could happen tomorrow, in a few matches, in a year, in five years… Florentino will continue for four more years, and my goal is to stay four more years at his side. That way, we'll have a great farewell party together. », indicated the 65-year-old technician.
-Ancelotti counts on the support of Pérez
These statements come as several Spanish media, notably Onda Cero, discussed Real Madrid's preparation for the post-Ancelotti era. Among the names mentioned to succeed him, that of Xabi Alonso, former emblematic player of the Merengues and current coach of Bayer Leverkusen, came up with insistence. However, Ancelotti brushed aside these assumptions by reaffirming his commitment and his desire to lead the club until the end of his contract. Despite two recent defeats against FC Barcelona, Real Madrid retains the lead in La Liga, demonstrating the strength of the team. The coach, aware of the constant pressure that comes with his position, called for perseverance.
The relationship between Carlo Ancelotti and president Florentino Pérez remains a pillar of stability for the club. Recently re-elected for a new four-year term, Pérez has shown no sign of disavowal towards the Italian coach. This bond of mutual trust seems to guarantee essential continuity in an environment often subject to sudden changes. For now, Carlo Ancelotti remains firmly in charge of Real Madrid, determined to further enhance the club's record and silence speculation.
