This time it's the end. After four years spent on the Real Madrid bench, Carlo Ancelotti will hand over. Already announced to take over the position of Brazil coach, the Italian will play his last match on the Real bench this Saturday. On the sidelines of the reception of the Real Sociedad (4:15 pm, 38th day of Liga), the “Mister” will be entitled to a good and due tribute.
If Madrid has known for a week already that he will not be champion of Spain, the spirit will still be at the party on the side of the Santiago Bernabeu. Friday, the club made a double announcement by first formalizing the departure of its coach while confirming that a tribute would be paid to him this Saturday. No more details, but almost the certainty of attending a particularly touching moment.
Even more poignant than this last game of the season at home will also be the last of Luka Modric. Arrived in 2012 from Tottenham, the thirty-nine-year-old Croatian environment has not been extended by a Real Madrid wishing to open a new chapter. One more farewell that promises some emotions and perhaps a few tears too.
Most titled coach in the history of Real
As for Carlo Ancelotti, he simply became the most successful coach in the history of Real Madrid. Already spent at the club between 2013 and 2015, he took advantage of his second lease to enrich his record and that of the Merengue. Three champions leagues, three club World Cups, three European Super Cups without forgetting two titles of Spanish champion. And that's not all since it is necessary to add to that two cups of the king and two super Cups from Spain.
A total of fifteen titles on all six seasons that Carlo Ancelotti to go through the Real Madrid coach costume. What necessarily deserved a marked tribute. Appointment is given this afternoon.
