Carlo Ancelotti Denies Real Madrid Exit Rumours

Ancelotti Commits to Real Madrid Amid Speculation

Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti has put an end to rumors suggesting he would step down at the end of the current season. The 65-year-old Italian manager, who has already secured two trophies this season, announced his intent to stay at the club for at least another four years, aligning with his contract that runs until 2026.

Recent speculation questioned Ancelotti’s future due to his tactical decisions, including the Supercopa de Espana final loss to Barcelona. However, Ancelotti remains firm in his commitment to the club.

Ancelotti’s Clear Message to Media

Speaking at a press conference, Ancelotti addressed the rumors:
“My departure date from this club is never going to be decided by me, no way. That day will come, but I don’t know when it might be, it’s not for me to decide. It could be tomorrow after the game, in the next game, in a year or in five years. I have an advantage and I have a goal.”

This strong statement highlighted his dedication to Real Madrid, despite reports of clashes with the club’s hierarchy over transfer strategies.

Florentino Perez and Ancelotti’s Partnership

Ancelotti’s declaration comes as Real Madrid president Florentino Perez recently extended his presidency until 2029. Ancelotti expressed a desire to continue working alongside Perez for the next four years, potentially saying farewell together when the time comes.

Perez, who has a strong yet demanding relationship with Ancelotti, had previously parted ways with the manager in 2015 after a single disappointing season. Despite the high expectations at Real Madrid, Ancelotti has maintained a solid connection with the players, fans, and Perez himself.

“We will have Florentino Perez here for another four years, and he knows my goal is to stay here for that time and say goodbye together, with all the love in the world,” Ancelotti said.
