Real Madrid TV Ancelotti Reveals if Tomorrow's Match Could Mean His Departure from the Club: 'I Think That...'
The Italian coach doesn't believe he's playing for his future on the bench in the return match against Arsenal
Carlos Ancelotti has spoken clearly in the press conference before the most important match of the season. He was asked if the match against Arsenal could determine his future at Real Madrid.
His response was brief but forceful: "I don't think so." The Italian coach doesn't believe that his continuity depends on tomorrow's result. He assures that his future won't be decided by a single match, neither to stay nor to leave the club.
A Crucial Night at Bernabéu
Real Madrid hosts Arsenal in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. In the first leg, the English team won 3-0.
Declan Rice scored two goals from direct free kicks. Mikel Merino closed the score with a powerful shot from inside the box.
The team's image this season is at stake. The comeback at Santiago Bernabéu will be key for the future of the project.
Although Ancelotti remains firm, the rumors about his departure don't stop. Several names are strongly mentioned as possible replacements.
Xabi Alonso, current coach of Bayer Leverkusen, is the favorite. His excellent campaign in Germany has caught the attention of the white club.
Jürgen Klopp has also been mentioned, who left Liverpool at the end of last season and is now leading the Red Bull academies. His character and experience in great European nights make him a very serious option.
Zinedine Zidane, a Madrid legend, is always on the radar. His name is once again mentioned as a possible return to the merengue bench.
The Brazil Option Remains Alive
Additionally, the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) is still interested in hiring Ancelotti as the national team coach. He would be in charge of leading Brazil in the 2026 World Cup.
The coach himself hasn't acknowledged that this possibility is on the table, although Ronaldo did. But for now, he is focused solely on Real Madrid.
Everything points to Florentino Pérez waiting for the season to end to make a decision.
The match against Arsenal will be important. But not definitive. Ancelotti is clear about it. "I don't think so" is his response. But Bernabéu will speak tomorrow. And the future of the bench may begin to be defined.
