Ancelotti's Reply to the Boos and His Possible Dismissal from Real Madrid
Reggiolo's coach spoke to the media at the press conference
Carlo Ancelotti's press conference before the game against Las Palmas has been one of the most anticipated moments for Real Madrid. Not only because of the background stemming from the debacle in Jeddah, but also due to the reaction of the coach to the renewed debate about his continuity on the bench.
Without a doubt, the relationship between the Reggiolo coach and the club's board could have been compromised by the poor results achieved this season. Nothing could be further from the truth, because the harmony that the president and the Madrid coach have demonstrated on more than one occasion would remain according to his words.
The Italian strategist has made it clear that "I have a very good relationship with Florentino, José Ángel, and the whole club. I don't have any problem." Besides reinforcing the bond that led him to be the white coach for the second time, he reveals something that many sensed even after the poor image in several games.
"I feel supported at all times and it will be like this until my last day here. In that sense, I don't have any problem," clarifies the Madrid coach. Ancelotti claims to have the express confidence of the Madrid leadership, support that would have been lightened after the defeat in the final held in Jeddah.
Setting boundaries
"We keep working together, trying to do our best as always." This powerful message is a clear warning to those who rule out Madrid from the 'fight' for the Champions or LaLiga due to the feelings within the team. The complicated context in which the transalpine strategist finds himself has taken its toll on more than one occasion.
Despite everything, he understands that being the coach of Madrid brings certain negative aspects, such as constant questioning against which he would have raised his voice on more than one occasion. "It doesn't bother me at all to be questioned, because it's part of my job," confesses the Italian coach.
Because Carlo Ancelotti has shown he knows how to withstand criticism as long as it is confined to the purely soccering realm. The competitive irregularity that Real Madrid is registering this season, especially in high-stakes matches, is a headache that still has no visible solution. The coaching staff, led by the Reggiolo coach, is already working to find the key and recover the best version of his players.
This determination is carried out under the watchful eye of the executives led by Florentino, who are closely monitoring the process and made several decisions. The first of these is to keep Santiago Solari as interim coach if the Reggiolo coach is dismissed. If not, the Italian coach will hold on until the end of his contract and leave the bench free for the 'favorite' of the white leadership: Xabi Alonso.
