The Blancos coach in an interview with Prime Video: “If the club wants me here for another ten years, I will train for ten years. But I would like to be with my grandchildren, to see the world.” The hypothesis of a national team. And on Benzema: “It shouldn’t be trained or managed, it should be used. It’s a Ballon d’Or”

From his future to Benzema’s humility, Carlo Ancelotti talks about himself and for the first time talks about retirement. In a long interview with Prime Videowhich will be broadcast in full in the Real Madrid-Manchester pre-match, the Blancos coach, capable of winning the five major European championships, ranges over everything.

Withdrawal

He starts from the experience of Madrid and confesses: “After Real, yes, I will probably stop. If the club keeps me here for ten years, I will train for ten years. But I would like to be with my grandchildren, go on vacation with my wife, There are so many things to do that I have left out that I would like to do. Go to many places I have never been. I have never been to Australia. I have never been to Rio de Janeiro. To visit my sister more often. Unfortunately, it’s not like you can do everything, so the day I quit I’ll have all these things to do. ”

Nationals

For a coach like that, the experience on the bench of a national team would be interesting: “Yes, there would be a national team but now it is premature. Certainly not for this World Cup. For that of 2026, why not? It could be”. Alessandro Alciato, the interviewer, asks him if it could be Canada, and he: “Why not? I’d love to, of course. Canada did very well”.

The Champions

Between present and future, the market moves. Can Benzema, Vinicius and Mbappé play together? “In general, good players play… Benzema? One of the characteristics of his and his career has been continuity. He has always progressed, he has not had ups and downs, he has been constantly at high levels. Perhaps now he is at the highest level. Karim he must not be trained, but not managed. Karim must be used. He manages himself because he is a great professional, very humble, a great player. Nothing is said to Karim, this is the truth. He has solved many games for us, he was decisive this season. At the moment he is one of the most famous players in the world and he maintains a great humility, and I believe that this is his strength. And he will win the Ballon d’Or. But you do not win only for Benzema, behind there is the strong structure of a strong club, and the quality of a high-level squad. “
