Carlo Ancelotti has his ears that whistle since the elimination of Real Madrid by Arsenal (0-3, 1-2) in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. While the Merengue coach is announced on the hot seat, a few voices get up to support him, like Ronald Koeman, the Netherlands coach.
The Dutch technician challenged the criticisms directed towards his Italian counterpart, denouncing the tendency to systematically hold coaches as responsible in the event of failure. He also praised the work of Ancelotti at the head of a workforce made up of the stars of the round ball, like that of the Whiteos.
“We must seek the responsibilities of each”
“In the end, in football, it is the coaches who are to blame. We must recognize that Encelotti is doing an excellent job. It is the coach who has the most prestigious titles in the world. He's a good, intelligent coach. He manages a team very well with as many stars as Real. For me, he is not guilty. If they have not won, you have to look for everyone's responsibilities. But in the end, it is always the coach who is blamed “explained the ex-Coach of Barça for Marca.
According to rumors in Spain, Ancelotti's second term in Real could end prematurely if the season ends with a negative note. In this case, the big favorite to take his place would be Xabi Alonso, current manager of Bayer Leverkusen.
