Josep Pedrerol Confirms Florentino Pérez's Plan for Real Madrid's Bench

Carlo Ancelotti's Future Has Put Real Madrid in Check, in a Way. The white leaders, led by Florentino Pérez, have rejected the Reggiolo coach's request to terminate his contract for about four million euros. That means that, at least until further notice, the Italian coach remains linked to the merengue club.

The cancellation of his signing by Brazil for next June, as well as recent calls from Saudi Arabia, would have shaped a new change in strategy. Josep Pedrerol, during the latest episode of "El Chiringuito de Jugones," would have announced this alteration in the roadmap for the summer 2025 transfer market.

The negotiations with Xabi Alonso, to be Carlo Ancelotti's replacement in the 25/26 season, are advancing rapidly. But Josep Pedrerol warns about the outcome of the current league season, a result that could irreversibly change the future of both Xabi Alonso and Carlo Ancelotti according to his information.

In that sense, Josep Pedrerol points out that Carlo Ancelotti could continue for one more season if the white club does what seems impossible right now: win LaLiga. If the white footballers are able to overcome the four-point difference with FC Barcelona in the last four matches, the Reggiolo coach could extend his current contract.

Remote Possibility

The last renewal of Carlo Ancelotti with Real Madrid set the limit of his second stage in summer 2026. That's why an agreement on his severance has not been reached, thus reducing his options to take on other jobs like the Canarinha or Saudi Arabia.

But those alternatives would take a back seat according to the information handled by Josep Pedrerol. From the Valdebebas offices, Carlo Ancelotti's continuity would be valued if the first team exceeds the predictions of the most pessimistic and becomes league champion. That scenario also raises many questions about the future of Xabi Alonso.

Especially because the Tolosarra coach, according to Eduardo Inda, would have already warned Bayer Leverkusen players that he will not continue with the werkself discipline for the next season. The confusion regarding the medium and long-term future of Carlo Ancelotti continues while Real Madrid, on a sporting level, faces an almost insurmountable challenge.

The good streak of FC Barcelona, in addition to the boost from their victory in the Copa del Rey final, makes it practically impossible for Real Madrid to win LaLiga. However, no one at Real Madrid rules out a hypothetical surprise until next May 25... when Carlo Ancelotti could confirm his stay for one more year on the home bench of Santiago Bernabéu.
