A page turns to Real Madrid. Senior coach of the Merengues since the summer of 2021 after an adventure on the side of Everton, Carlo Ancelotti left the Spanish capital. Plusted by the disappointing season of Casa Blanca, the 65 -year -old Italian technician finally found common ground with his management to end his contract, which ran until June 2026 with a salary of 11 million euros. Despite the arrival of Kylian Mbappé last summer and two new trophies won this season (European Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup), the Mister thus pays the 2024-2025 overall disappointing merengues.
Beaten by FC Barcelona in the championship, Real Madrid also underwent the Catalan law during the King Cup final and that of Spanish Super Cup before being swept by Arsenal during the quarter -finals of the Champions League. So many disappointments which finally precipitated the departure of the former coach of Paris Saint-Germain. However, faithful to its image, the Madrid club undertook to fully respect the Mister's contract. In parallel, Florentino Pérez even planned to officially appoint Ancelotti as a lifetime ambassador of the club, a prestigious function intended for the greatest legends of Real.
Goodbye Mister!
“Real Madrid Cf and Carlo Ancelotti have reached an agreement to end his mandate as a Real Madrid coach. Our club wants to express its gratitude and its affection for one of the greatest legends of Real Madrid and world football.

In total, 15 titles during the six seasons he spent with our club. Tomorrow, the Santiago-Bernabéu will pay tribute to him during what will be Carlo Ancelotti's last match as Real Madrid coach. Real Madrid wishes him, as well as all his family, the best chance in this new stage of his life ”said the White House press release to formalize the news.
Pöur his second visit to the Real Madrid bench (after the first from 2013 to 2015), the Native of Reggiolo will still have won the Champions League twice, twice the Spanish Cup and twice the Spanish Super Cup. Equipments to which must also be added two titles of Spanish champion. A more than honorable assessment for those who have finally won 161 matches in all competitions since his return to Madrid (34 draws, 36 defeats). If Xabi Alonso, who recently announced his departure from Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season, should become the next White House coach, Carlo Ancelotti will, for his part, continue his career as a coach of Brazil. The end of an era, the beginning of another.
