Ancelotti: Real Madrid have confirmed that they will remain as coaches

After the semifinals in CL

Carlo Ancelotti says he remains as coach at Real Madrid despite a largely disappointing season. When asked if the club had promised to fulfill his contract, which runs until 2024, the Italian replied at a press conference on Saturday: “Yes.”

The day before he spoke to Real President Florentino Pérez, also about missing the final in the Champions League due to the 4-0 semi-final second leg against Manchester City. “He promised me his support and we talked about Wednesday’s game. We’re going into the future with the firm hope of making things right,” said the 63-year-old.

The “Royal” had won the Spanish Cup this season, but were beaten in the championship by arch-rivals FC Barcelona. After the clear end to Man City, the media had speculated that Real could now part with Ancelotti. However, he had already appeased immediately after the defeat on Wednesday. When asked about his future during the week, he assured that he would stay in Madrid: “No one doubts it, because the President made a clear statement 15 days ago. Nobody doubts it.”

Ancelotti, who after the Man City game overtook Sir Alex Ferguson as coach with the most Champions League games (191 to 190), was recently discussed as the future coach of the Brazilian national team, among other things.
