Ancelotti Reveals the Conversation with Management After the Debacle in the Champions League

The Transalpine Coach Reveals the Feelings of the Merengue Bosses in Recent Weeks

Real Madrid Has Been Eliminated from the Champions League after a really complicated tie against Arsenal. Mikel Arteta's Pupils Were Clearly Superior in That Double Duel against the Madrid squad and have provoked the emergence of dozens of debates about the club's current situation.

One of Those Points of Questioning Is Carlo Ancelotti. The future of the Reggiolo coach is increasingly difficult to discern due to the competitions that still remain on the calendar: the Copa del Rey final and LaLiga. Both tournaments could cushion the impact of that elimination and keep Ancelotti himself on the white bench for the Club World Cup organized this summer by FIFA.

Not Even the Merengue Coach Himself Knows for Sure What His Future Is in the entity presided over by Florentino Pérez. He Acknowledged It After the Second Leg of the Quarterfinals, a match against the gunner team at Santiago Bernabéuthat ended in defeat. Asked again about what might happen in the coming weeks, Carlo Ancelotti Has Been Very Clear.

According to the Real Madrid coach, multiple aspects of a team that has been a continuous champion are being called into question. "A Club That Has Won Many Titles in Recent Years Is Being Questioned," Warns Carlo Ancelotti. That questioning would not please the Italian strategist, who has also discussed regarding his future possibilities with the white leadership.

Unwavering Message

So much so that "I've Talked to the Management and They Show Us Their Affection, Both to Me and to the Squad". Despite the criticisms launched both at the coaching staff and the members of the Madrid locker room, Carlo Ancelotti points out that Real Madrid's bosses support the first team. His Statement Couldn't Be Clearer: "We're All in the Same Boat".

That Doesn't Imply, however, that from Valdebebas's offices they are actively working to make the changes deemed necessary. One of those probable modifications has Carlo Ancelotti himself as the protagonist, who could be replaced by Xabi Alonso from the summer of 2025.

The Presence of the Club World Cup, a competition that will be held between June 13 and July 13, would be the only thing currently keeping the Reggiolo coach. Regardless of his previous successes as a Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti Could Exhaust His Second Stage as Merengue Coach by Mid-Summer.

Meanwhile, the Transalpine Coach Insists: "I've Talked to the Management and They Show Us Their Affection, Both to Me and to the Squad". The Displays of Support and Confidence that the white executives have shown to the Real Madrid coach throughout the season wouldn't have ended... despite the poor result obtained against Arsenal in the Champions League.
