Manu Carreño Reveals What Will Happen to Ancelotti If Real Madrid Lose El Clásico

The most important match for Real Madrid and FC Barcelona this season is the Clásico next Sunday, May 11. Carlo Ancelotti's players were already looking at that match at the Olympic Stadium of Montjuïc as an excellent competitive opportunity, but now the Catalan team shares that point of view. Their elimination in the Champions League semifinals, against Inter Milan, leaves LaLiga as the last major competition of this season.

Besides the possible line-ups of both teams in the fourth Clásico of the season, one of the most notable issues of that match is Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid's coach. The future of the Reggiolo coach, according to multiple reports released in recent weeks, would end his second stint at the helm of the white team on May 25, 2025. The league match against Real Sociedad at Santiago Bernabéu would be his last game as the merengue coach, paving the way for the number one candidate to take the position: Xabi Alonso.

In recent hours, several media outlets have indicated that Carlo Ancelotti's future would be officially solved when the Clásico in Montjuïc ends, regardless of the result. Nothing could be further from the truth, warns Manu Carreño on "El Larguero": the Cadena SER journalist reports that "nothing will be announced about Ancelotti's departure" after the Clásico. Regardless of whether Real Madrid achieves a victory, a draw, or a defeat, that radio station makes it clear that "life at the club will continue as usual".

Meanwhile, the advances published just a day ago by newspapers like MARCA orEl Mundo would be disputed by the information revealed on "El Larguero" of Cadena SER. The future of Carlo Ancelotti once again offers completely different versions that do not help to foresee the end of a saga that has been resonating in the white club for some time.

Still Not Clear

Especially after the elimination in the Champions League quarterfinals. The double defeat against Arsenal in that round of the top continental competition solved the need to bring about a coaching change for the first white team... in addition to the urgency to add more players in all positions of a depleted defensive line.

With that information revealed by Cadena SER, not only is Carlo Ancelotti's position at Real Madrid defined, but also his possible agreement with Brazil is affected. The negotiations for the Reggiolo coach to take over the sports management of the Canarinha are accompanied by a very clear requirement: he must be consecrated as the new coach in June.

The CBF doesn't consider the arrival of the Italian strategist after that date, given the international dates against Paraguay and Ecuador on June 6 and 11. The saga surrounding Carlo Ancelotti continues. Most of the information handled to date speaks of a practically sealed pact between the Reggiolo coach and Real Madrid to end the contractual relationship.

But there would still not be an official announcement date for that departure before the summer of 2026, the limit of the contract that the Italian has with the entity presided over by Florentino Pérez. From MARCA and El Mundo it was pointed out that it would be after the Clásico when that official announcement would come, information refuted by the advances revealed on "El Larguero" last night.
