Carlo Ancelotti is facing the end of Real Madrid – but that is not yet officially announced. Bayer Leverkusens Xabi Alonso should be in the starting blocks as the successor, but Ancelotti, on the other hand, could move to Brazil or Saudi Arabia. The 65-year-old does not yet want to talk about his future. However, the Italian announced a date when it was so far.
“I feel a great affection towards this club, the players and the fans. At the same time I have great respect. So on May 25th I will talk about my future and not beforehand. We think in the present games, the upcoming games and to fight the championship until the last second in the last game, no matter what happens. We think of nothing else”, Ancelotti is quoted by “real”. In the laliga, the royal people are currently four points behind FC Barcelona. May 25th is the last matchday.
Most recently there had also been reports that the trainer and real could not diverge in good. However, Ancelotti contradicted this. “Whatever happens, it will be a fantastic farewell because I am very connected to this club and vice versa. I have never had a dispute with the club, never. That won’t happen either, because I will not take it out to start a discussion or argument with the club at the last moment. It can be on May 25, 2025, 2026 or 2030 – I don’t know that.
Ancelotti’s contract in Madrid is dated until 2026. Nevertheless, engagement beyond the season is extremely unlikely. The parties are aiming for a public separation, but the financial conditions of one would still have to be regulated. According to Brazilian sources, Ancelotti from Real is said to have requested compensation of 4 million euros, which the association has rejected. According to reports, Ancelotti also has an offer from the Brazilian national team, but it should also check an offer from Saudi Arabia. With Los Blancos, Ancelotti won the Champions League three times and the championship twice.
