Ancelotti's Response About His Departure from Real Madrid: The Italian Raises His Voice

The Italian coach has made a decision and makes a bold move regarding his future

Real Madrid's Elimination in the Champions League has made Ancelotti's future more uncertain. Many suggest that his replacement should happen immediately, or at most, wait until summer. They believe that next season a new project must begin.

However, Ancelotti has one year left on his contract, so there are only two possibilities on the table. The first is for the coach to step aside and decide to leave Real Madrid. The second is for the club itself to make the decision to terminate his contract.

The simplest would be the first, but Ancelotti doesn't seem inclined to leave Madrid. This is confirmed by journalist Guillermo Rai, who suggests that the Italian intends to continue. Therefore, he will only leave if the club decides to dismiss him.

A situation that may cause some friction as some voices are calling for an immediate replacement. Especially because the image Real Madrid presented against Arsenal was not well-received. They still have some tough challenges ahead that could be crucial.

Florentino Will Wait to Make the Decision Next Summer

It is true that decisions shouldn't be made in the heat of the moment, which is why Florentino will wait to do so. He points to next summer as the time when he might end up replacing Ancelotti. The big question is whether it will happen before or after the Club World Cup.

For now, the Copa del Rey final against Barça will be the first test he has to pass. The team's performance at La Cartuja will be crucial for Carlo's future. But also the league Clásico taking place in May at Montjuïc.

If he turns things around and wins both titles, Ancelotti could save his position and finish his contract. Otherwise, if he doesn't win any and the image doesn't improve, he will have a hard time. He has little credit left and could end up leaving even without managing the Club World Cup.
