The Italian coach is currently under contract in the Spanish capital until the end of the 2025/26 season after extending his deal in December 2023. He led Los Blancos to a La Liga and UEFA Champions League double last season to claim a fifth title in the latter as part of his incredible coaching career.
The 65-year-old remains one of the world’s best coaches, despite approaching retirement age, but he has no plans to walk away from the game just yet. I’m always nervous before a match, I feel pressure, and as long as that doesn’t change, I’ll continue here.”according to Relevo. “I will retire when the passion I have for football has disappeared.”
