Close Friend of Ancelotti Reveals the Key to His Future at Real Madrid: 'He...'

It's been a really hectic week for Carlo Ancelotti. Real Madrid's coach, besides responding to 'Cholo' Simeone's accusations regarding the "episodes", has also been forced to clarify his future on the white bench. The information published by Onda Cero this very Monday, courtesy of Edu Pidal, made it clear that the Italian strategist had made the decision to leave the club this summer.

Onda Cero's journalist emphasized that nothing that happened during the rest of the current soccer season would make him change his mind. The Reggiolo coach's reply, during the press conference before today's game against RB Salzburg, was blunt. "I won't decide my future at Real Madrid", he remarked regarding this saga.

At the same time, very striking information comes from Italy about the merengue coach. Filippo Rizzi, a great connoisseur and close friend of Ancelotti, reveals what the Madrid coach truly thinks about his position in the team. "He is very clear that this could end tomorrow, that the expiration date could be Salzburg if they lose", the journalist from La Gazzetta dello Sport states on Cadena SER.

Additionally, Ancelotti "knows he had a problem before the Osasuna game, because he came from losing the Clásico and in the Champions League. He knows he had another one after the Supercopa". Filippo Ricci reveals that the transalpine strategist "knows Florentino well and knows this could last for years or end tomorrow".

Everything clarified

Carlo Ancelotti is very clear on how to handle himself in the locker room and in the Valdebebas offices because "he is delighted with Real Madrid and won't betray it. Even if the team is unbalanced, he hasn't said it nor will he say it", warns Filippo Ricci. The journalist from La Gazzetta defends this view by making it clear that the coach is "a club man and his great love is Madrid".

"He won't leave because he doesn't want to leave, he lives very comfortably in Madrid and it's not about the money". According to the Italian informant, very close to Carlo Ancelotti, the control of the team "is not one of his concerns". Not only because he is convinced he can fix the situation: "The relationship with Florentino is very clear and he knows what the president thinks, he's never had a problem".

Ricci illustrates that harmony between president and coach by recalling his dismissal: "When he left the first time, the moment wasn't nice. And even so, he came back as if nothing happened". The tactical changes to implement in Santiago Bernabéu locker room also seem to be clear, one of his main hindrances since the current football season began at the merengue entity.

"He has said that the attack phase, in which Real Madrid is doing well, and the defense phase, in which they need to improve, must be distinguished", Filippo Ricci anticipates. So much so that he makes a very curious prediction: "If they improve the defense, they win titles. And if they win titles, Ancelotti will continue next season", concludes the informant from La Gazetta.
