Ancelotti Isn't the Only One: Another Madrid Employee Will Also Pay the Price

His Continuity Is Up in the Air, the Club Doubts After This Season

At Real Madrid, a significant change and renewal is approaching this coming summer. It will all start with the coaching staff, with the departure of Carlo Ancelotti heading to Brazil or Saudi Arabia. Davide wouldn't continue either, in his case to embark on a new adventure as a head coach.

But they wouldn't be the only ones; there is another member of the technical staff who would also be ready to pack his bags. It's Antonio Pintus, although in his case he does want to stay. Regardless of the new coach, he wants to remain at Real Madrid next season.

However, at the club, there are doubts about his work as a physical trainer, especially this season. The numerous injuries that have occurred could affect his continuity. The infirmary has been full in the last two years due to numerous setbacks.

Nonetheless, Real Madrid hasn't made a decision yet and has postponed it. It will be in the coming days when Pintus will know if they bet on him or if he leaves as well. That could depend on the chosen one to occupy the bench of the white team next season.

The Numerous Injuries That Leave Antonio Pintus Under Scrutiny

Last season, Real Madrid lost Alaba, Militao, and Courtois for many months. They were very painful absences, although they weren't the only ones, but they were the most serious. The white team managed to recover from all of it to conquer La Liga and the Champions League.

However, this season Militao has fallen again, and so has Carvajal, two injuries lasting many months. But not only them; right now, Camavinga, Mendy, or Alaba are also in the infirmary. A list of absences too extensive in the last two years.

This has cast doubt on Pintus and his work as a physical trainer for Real Madrid. The club has to decide if he will continue in that position for the next season. Or if, on the contrary, they prefer to end his tenure, which has also been full of successes.
