Ancelotti Informs the Locker Room of His Departure From Real Madrid, They Have Known Since Saturday

The defeat of Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final has triggered a series of changes in the Merengue entity that would be centered on several protagonists. One of the most notable is Carlo Ancelotti, whose future has changed radically in just a day and a half.

The Reggiolo coach seemed to be practically out of the team in case of a defeat at La Cartuja, but the impressions offered by the team from the second half changed it. As it stands, most reporters point out that the Italian strategist will remain on the local bench until the end of the league campaign of the 24/25 season.

When the match between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad on the upcoming May 25 ends, at Santiago Bernabéu, Carlo Ancelotti's second stage will also have ended. Most of the white footballers already know that decision, an agreement that would have been reached between the coach himself and the bosses led by Florentino Pérez.

According to various media outlets, such as TNT Sports, multiple big figures in Santiago Bernabéu locker room would already know that Carlo Ancelotti will not continue leading the team next season. That decision would have come since last Saturday, but it has been solidifying over the following days... until reaching the current situation.

Everyone Knows

Fabrizio Romano assures, in a recent post on his social media, that the agreement between Carlo Ancelotti and Brazil is practically closed. The Canarinha seems the most logical destination for a coach who has been on the CBF's list for two years: the first approach came in January 2023.

As it stands, most footballers already know that Carlo Ancelotti will not continue as Real Madrid's coach next season. The defeat in the Copa del Rey final has precipitated a change that seemed necessary given what happened, especially at the sports level, during this soccer season.

Meanwhile, the wear and tear recorded by the transalpine strategist would have led him to distance himself from the possibility of exhausting his contract, which ends in the summer of 2026, with the club. The reality is that Real Madrid is already preparing a legendary farewell for Carlo Ancelotti, consistent with the legacy he leaves in the entity, while searching for his replacement.

Real Madrid players remain aware of what is happening with the future of their current coach, since they have known since Saturday that he will not continue. The defeat in the Copa del Rey final has been the trigger for those changes, anticipated by many for some months, as part of the generational change.
