This Saturday, Real Madrid said goodbye to a second trophy this season. Beaten by FC Barcelona in the King's Cup final (2-3), despite a second half-made half-time, Carlo Ancelotti's troops seem to go straight to a white season, while only a victory in the next Clasico in Liga, at Camp Nou, combined with another faux Pas des Blaugranas, could allow the Merengue to win the championship. While the Casa Blanca technician has often had to do with the means at the start of the exercise, with many injured and little bench depth, Reader We learn that a request from the former AC Milan coach was not honored by his management.
The Spanish media explains that Encelotti had asked Madrid leaders to recruit new analysts to strengthen her technical staff. The club first accepted, approaching Andy Mangan, an English coach, but the project then fell into the water. Two obstacles have slowed down this recruitment: the Italian manager wishes people of absolute trust, while his stable wants to have his say on these recruits, to potentially keep them for the coming seasons, even after his departure. The result of this conflict was particularly visible to the Cartuja yesterday: seven analysts were present in the stands on the Catalan side, while there were only two Merengues.
