On Saturday against Real Sociedad, Carlo Ancelotti will be on the sidelines for Real Madrid one last time for Real Madrid, as he will take over the Brazilian national team on May 26th (for the article). The 65 -year -old Italian has emotionally saying goodbye to his club via Instagram. His second term in the royal was one of the most successful in club history and raised his career to a new level
“Today our paths separate again. Today I wear every moment in my heart that I experienced in this wonderful second phase as a coach of Real Madrid. It was unforgettable years, an incredible journey full of emotions, titles and, above all, pride to represent this sign,” wrote Ancelotti. “What we have achieved together will remain in memory of Madridism, not only because of the victories, but also because of the way we achieve them. The magical Bernabeu nights are already football history.”
“Carlo Ancelotti is now part of the big family of Madrid. We are proud that we were happy to receive a trainer who has helped us to achieve so many successes and who has also represented the values of our association in an exemplary manner,” said Real President Florentino Pérez in the club notification. In his second term among the royal, Ancelotti won an average of 2.24 points in 233 games and, among other things, twice the Champions League winner and two Spanish champions. With his triumph four and five in the premier class, he made it to the most successful coach in this competition.
For the first time on the Real Madrid bench, he was sitting between 2013 and 2015, where he looked after 119 games and fulfilled the dream of the tenth Champions League title to the club. The win in Laliga was initially denied to him. However, he followed this title in 2021/22, so that he led a team to the championship in all top 5 leagues (Ancelotti’s title collection). Since he will take over the Brazilian national team in the coming week, he will not be available to the royal at the club World Cup in June and July. There his designated successor Xabi Alonso, who is expected to be presented next Monday, will probably look after the white ballet.
