At a press conference on Friday, Carlo Ancelotti spoke about his future. And his statements sound like bad news for Zinedine Zidane.
Without a club for more than two years, Zinedine Zidane has repeatedly proclaimed his desire to lose service again. But the French legend is demanding and is not ready to accept just any offer. Rare club capable of attracting “Zizou”, Real Madrid could have to change coach next summer. Indeed, Carlo Ancelotti’s contract will end on June 30, 2024. Yes, but now, while a departure of the Italian technician seemed to be looming at the end of the current season, the trend has clearly reversed.
According to the latest rumors, Madrid leaders would like to extend the former PSG coach. For his part, Ancelotti seems open to this idea, he who is also coveted by the Brazilian federation. And the Italian’s recent statements suggest that he is very happy in Madrid… So much so that he would be ready to refuse a golden bridge from Saudi Arabia.
“I never looked at the money”
“550 million euros to go to Saudi Arabia? But, I’m going right away, I don’t even have to take the plane! No, it’s a joke, the world is changing. And he will change »the 64-year-old coach retorted in a humorous tone at a press conference on Friday.
“No, they didn’t call me and I live in the present, he continued. I have another idea than that. I never looked at money, because I grew up in a family where money was not important. And I have money. For me, the important thing is to feel good. » And in Madrid, he feels good… which doesn’t suit Zidane.
