After the end in the Champions League Real Madrid’s coach Carlo Ancelotti is under pressure. One of the Italians could also have episodes for Bayer Leverkusen and FC Bayern Munich.
Carlo Ancelotti has experienced far too much in football to panic now. After the deserved end in the quarter -finals of the Champions League Real Madrid’s trainer icon inevitably had to ask himself questions about his future. He clearly denied possible resignation thoughts. Nevertheless, he does not know what his future looks like, Ancelotti said after the 1-2 in the second leg against FC arsenal. The English had already won the first leg 3-0.
Ancelotti: “Maybe there is a change of coach”
Ancelotti has been back with the “royal” since 2021, and since then alone has won the Champions League and the Spanish championship twice. “Perhaps the association will decide to change coaches, maybe this year – or next year when my contract expires, that doesn’t matter”said Ancelotti.
His contract runs until summer 2026. “Whenever I leave real, I can only thank the club – whether my contract ends or not is not important to me”said Ancelotti and added: “It can be tomorrow in ten days, in a month or in one year.”
The pressure on Ancelotti rises
In any case, the pressure increases. Without a chance, free of ideas, harmless- the sports press spoiled with numerous real-wonders in recent years critically dealt critically with the singing and soundless departure of the “royal”. “If you don’t play, there are no miracles”criticized the “Marca”.
Arsenal would have deserved the progress, said Ancelotti: “We have seen the lucky side many times, today the sad. We have to keep our heads up and admit that this season was not our season. There are no invincible teams.”
Championship and cup in focus
It will now be important how the coming weeks will run. In the Spanish championship, Real is six rounds before the end of four points behind leaders FC Barcelona. The final against the arch -rival from Catalonia will be in the cup on April 26. If Real stays without a title this season, it would be tight for Ancelotti.
Alonso and Wirtz too real?
If he left Madrid in summer, Bayer Leverkusen and FC Bayern Munich could also affect this. Because Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso is supposed to be on the top of the wish list at Real. The Spaniard played at Real from 2009 to 20014 and won the Champions League there with Ancelotti as a coach last year.
Xabi Alonso and Florian Wirtz from Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Florian Wirtz is closely linked to Alonso. It is currently being strongly courted by FC Bayern. The international also has the option of staying with Bayer Leverkusen. However, if Alonso switched to Real Madrid, Wirtz could follow his trainer. Because whether he wants to go to Munich at all is not known.
