There is an unwritten rule at Real Madrid that states any coach who fails to win the league, Copa del Rey, or Champions League must leave at the end of the season.
Ancelotti believes Real Madrid will win at least one of the three major competitions this season
Carlo Ancelotti’s future as the head coach of Real Madrid is still being determined despite the club’s success in winning the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup this season. There is an unwritten rule at Real Madrid that states any coach who fails to win the league, Copa del Rey, or Champions League must leave at the end of the season. Ancelotti is no stranger to this, as he experienced it in 2014/15, but he is hopeful that it will be different this year. In a press conference on Saturday, Ancelotti stated that he believes Real Madrid will win at least one of the three major competitions this season, making the club’s decision to evaluate his future a moot point. However, he also acknowledged that the club would ultimately decide his fate and stated that he wanted to continue as long as they wanted him to.
Los Blancos currently have a disadvantage in the Copa del Rey semi-final
“For as long as the club wants me here, I’m going to enjoy it, whether they want me here for three months or three years,” he said. “Written rules sometimes change and unwritten rules too.” Ancelotti is confident that Real Madrid will be successful in at least one of the three competitions, with the Champions League providing the most excellent chance of success. “We currently have a disadvantage in the Copa del Rey semi-final and are behind La Liga, but we’re level with everyone who remains in the Champions League,” he said.
The Italian coach is determined to prolong his time at Real Madrid and stated that it would be his last adventure at the club level. He has a deep love for the club and the city and has no desire to stop living this adventure. If he does leave, he may consider a move into international football, with Brazil being a potential option.
The coach emphasized the importance of viewing Barcelona as a lion and not a cat
Real Madrid is currently nine points behind in the La Liga title race and needs a win against Barcelona at Camp Nou on Sunday to stay in contention for the championship. Ancelotti emphasized the importance of viewing Barcelona as a lion and not a cat and stated that his team needs to prepare well and play well, both defensively and offensively. He also acknowledged that it is hard to predict how Barcelona will play in the game, as it is a different game from the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg, where they defended deep. However, he is confident that his team will play attacking football and score early if given a chance.
In conclusion, Ancelotti’s future at Real Madrid remains uncertain, but he is hopeful that the club will evaluate his performance based on the team’s success in the three major competitions. He is confident that Real Madrid will win at least one of the competitions, with the Champions League being the most likely option. Regardless of the outcome, Ancelotti is determined to prolong his time at Real Madrid and continue this adventure as long as the club wants him to.
