Ancelotti Says Goodbye to Real Madrid After Six Years

Carlo Ancelotti is leaving Real Madrid and says he will always be grateful to the club. The Italian coach will soon start a new job with the Brazilian national team.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Ancelotti has confirmed he is leaving Real Madrid and shared his feelings about his time there. “I will be a Real Madrid fan for the rest of my life. I never thought I’d be coach for 6 years. I have to thank the club,” he said. This announcement came a day after the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) named Ancelotti their new head coach. He is the first foreign manager to lead Brazil’s famous team.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ancelotti is leaving after a tough season for Real Madrid. The team has faced many problems in recent months. They were knocked out of the Champions League, lost to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final, and fell behind in the LaLiga race. After losing 4-3 to Barcelona on Sunday, Madrid’s hopes of winning LaLiga are almost gone. Barcelona is now seven points ahead with three games left in the season.

Even though things ended badly, Ancelotti has achieved a lot at Real Madrid. Over two periods in charge, he won three Champions League titles and two LaLiga championships. He will be remembered as one of the most successful coaches in the club’s long history.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR ANCELOTTI?

According to the CBF, Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid after their last game of the LaLiga season against Real Sociedad. He is set to start his new job with Brazil on May 26, 2025. This will be a big challenge for him as he becomes the first foreign coach to lead the five-time World Cup winners. Ancelotti’s main focus will be on Brazil’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers in June, as he tries to improve the team’s performance after a period of struggles for the South American giants.

For Real Madrid, the main task now is to find Ancelotti’s replacement. The club is expected to announce their plan soon. Despite recent problems, the new coach will have a talented squad capable of fighting for big trophies next season.
