Valdano's Harsh Confession About Ancelotti and His End at Madrid: 'The Law of...

Valdano Talks About Ancelotti's Future and His Words Are a Reality That Hits the Italian

The future of the Merengue bench is one of the biggest uncertainties currently within the institution and among Madridists on social media. After the defeat in this Copa del Rey final against Barcelona, things are even more hanging in the air. However, the one who has spoken decisively about Ancelotti's future is Jorge Valdano.

"We all know the law of soccer, and at Madrid, it's even more tragic; if you lose, no one saves you, and Ancelotti knows it well," were the words of the Argentine. This clearly shows an end of a cycle for the Italian coach who knows what his final destination is. Much more so in a demanding team like Real Madrid, which knows that any mistake can be chaotic.

This seems to be the final destination for the Merengue coach, who knows perfectly well that he was playing for his position in this final. Although more than anything, it was about his continuity, having offers waiting for this moment.

For Some, It's Already Clear

The defeat in this Copa del Rey final has simply been the confirmation of what needs to change at Real Madrid next season. Among the many things that need to be done, it seems that in the end, a change on the bench will have to be made.

Jorge's words have been simply devastating because they concern such an emblematic figure as Ancelotti himself. Especially with what he has won in recent years with the white team, which makes it clear that he is an absolute legend.

However, as Jorge himself points out, things are cruel in soccer, and even more so at Real Madrid when you lose in this manner. Therefore, his departure is practically a fact and an open secret in the media and on social media.

We'll See What's Next

For now, it is expected that he can finish LaLiga, and just before the Club World Cup, he will leave his position to someone else. A departure that for many is painful, but for others, it is a necessary end of a cycle.
