According to what the Spanish newspaper ‘Marca’ reported, Ancelotti’s fate will not wait until the end of the season, but will be determined based on the result of the upcoming final against their traditional rival.
Real Madrid, led by Florentino Perez, understands the importance of early planning for a long and exceptional season that ends in July due to the club’s participation in the Club World Cup. If Ancelotti leaves, the club has placed Xabi Alonso’s name as the first option, especially since the current Bayer Leverkusen coach has not confirmed his continuation with the team despite his preparations for the upcoming season.
Ancelotti, for his part, wants to stay with Real Madrid and feels the support of the management and players, but he knows that winning titles, first and foremost the Copa del Rey, is a prerequisite for his continuation. Meanwhile, the Brazilian national team is still waiting for the final position of the Italian coach after long-standing interest in hiring him.
Despite the pressure from fans and media calling for change, Real Madrid’s management sees Ancelotti as an important part of the club’s history and treats him with great respect. The players’ list is also undergoing a thorough review, and significant changes may occur next summer if the desired goals are not achieved this season.
