The decor has been planted for several days and everything seemed to have to take place without too many hooks. Unable to challenge the supremacy of FC Barcelona in Spain (second in Liga and beaten in the King's Cup final by the Blaugranas) and eliminated from the Champions League before the semi-finals, Carlo Ancelotti will not honor his last year of contract and should be replaced by Xabi Alonso (Santiago Solari assuring interim during the World Cup of clubs). Disappointed with the team's services, Real Madrid was however well determined to reserve an outing by the big door to a coach who brought back three Champions Leagues in Merengues (2014, 2022, 2024), namely the full payment of his last year of contract (€ 11 million) and a role of life ambassador of Casa Blanca.
Invited to bend luggage, “Carletto” did not take long to turn around since Brazil immediately returned to the charge, two years after having missed the mark with the Italian. Everything seemed even settled between the Transalpine and the Brazilian Federation (CBF), before the thunderclap this night. Unless the situation reversals, Carlo Ancelotti will still make the Seleção again. To explain this draft, the Spanish media announce a desire from Real Madrid to block the operation. Concretely, the Florentino Pérez club was annoyed to learn that his coach negotiated behind his back with the CBF and would therefore have decided not to pay an Italian pennant in the event of departure this summer, while Encelotti would claim his due. This afternoon, Reader We also learn that the atmosphere is electric in Valdebebas, the Real Madrid training center. And this, well before the events of yesterday evening.
The abandoned sportsman to the detriment of personal interests
Ancelotti had already raised the mustard to the nose of his leaders when the latter, who had authorized him to seek a new team, realized that an emissary of the CBF came to attend the Real Madrid-Arsenal match in Bernabéu, then in Seville for the King Cup final. Reader Even assures that the Madrid locker room was shocked to see all this circus that he thought was a habit of the Catalan rival under LAPORTA. And that's not all. The Spanish media ensures that Madrid players did not appreciate not having a tactical plan for the quarter -finals against Arsenal. Clearly, the subject of favorite discussion in Valdebebas was the future of Ancelotti and not the approach of this crucial match. Suffice to say that this feeling of annoyance had to be multiplied among the players after the slap received at the Emirates (0-3). In addition to that, a ball of agents and intermediaries at the training center would have annoyed more than one too.
All were there to transmit offers to Ancelotti and his staff. Ancelotti's son, Davide negotiated between two agencies and even the physical preparer Francesco Mauri took the opportunity to tell the leaders that he would like to kiss a coach career soon. In short, everyone was taking care of their little person and not really sportsman. Finally, the post-match of the King Cup final lost to Barça did not help calm things. The Italian granted his players two and a half days of rest so that they can disconnect. However, Reader Ensures that if Ancelotti made this decision, it was mainly to go to London and negotiate his contract with the CBF. Certain that the operation was going to end quickly, “Carletto” agreed to take charge of the Seleção earlier than expected, while thinking of arriving in Brazil with the big check of Real Madrid in your pocket. It was then at this moment that he discovered that Casa Blanca had changed his rifle. Since then, Madrid has explained that he must protect his interests, without wanting to go to war against his coach. In the meantime, Saudi Arabia has come to news with a salary of € 50 million annually …
