We didn’t expect such a start to the season for Real Madrid. Too strong last season despite the unexpected departure of Karim Benzema at the start of the season, the Merengues won La Liga, the Spanish Super Cup and the Champions League at the end of a memorable season. This year, with the arrival of Kylian Mbappé, Iberian supporters could logically expect a new year adorned with titles. In the end, nothing really went as planned. Indeed, several pitfalls have slowed down the Madrilenians in their progress and the start of the Merengues season is frankly delicate.
Unable to find an offensive animation capable of allowing everyone to express themselves as they should, the capital club is struggling sportingly. While Kylian Mbappé’s sporting and mental setbacks hit the headlines, bad results are piling up in Madrid. Despite a coronation in the European Super Cup, Carlo Ancelotti’s men have had a difficult last few weeks with a loss in the Clasico (0-4) and a rout against AC Milan in C1 (1-3).
Santiago Solari was close to replacing Carlo Ancelotti
From then on, doubts took hold of the minds of Madrid management. Indeed, after these two rather humiliating setbacks, the leaders of Real Madrid began to look in all directions to find a possible replacement for Carlo Ancelotti. And according to the information from RelevoFlorentino Pérez’s plans were already well advanced. Indeed, in the event of a defeat against Osasuna two weeks ago, the Italian coach would be dismissed from his position and his replacement had already been found.
Because yes, even if Ancelotti finally saved his skin in favor of a festival against the Pamplona club (4-0), Santiago Solari was going to be appointed coach to turn around the Madrid club sportingly. Important information which indicates that the former coach of Paris Saint-Germain remains in the hot seat and that he will be particularly expected in the coming weeks. To keep his place on the Real bench, Carlo Ancelotti will therefore have to win against Leganès this Sunday (6:30 p.m.) and will have to show a reassuring face during the midweek clash against Liverpool on Wednesday (9 p.m.).
