If the Mbappé file still excites Madrid and the Spanish press as much, Casa Blanca must manage another, slightly more urgent file: the future of Carlo Ancelotti, whose contract expires in June 2024. At 64, the Italian signed a high-flying comeback in the Spanish capital by signing a Liga-Champions League double at the end of the 2021/2022 season.
Since then, he certainly lost the title of Spanish champion last year to FC Barcelona, but Carletto remains a desired coach. For months, Brazil has been courting him. But the situation remains confused. An agreement between the two parties has reportedly been signed, but the Real Madrid coach refuses to confirm it. For its part, Casa Blanca does not intend to let this happen.
New twist
While young, highly renowned coaches such as Xabi Alonso and Roberto De Zerbi were in Madrid’s sights, the latest information from Spain confirmed the Merengues’ desire to extend their technician’s contract. José Mourinho himself invited Ancelotti to stay in Madrid and not act “crazy” by wanting to leave, as he did in his time.
Will the transalpine coach be receptive? The radio Cadena COPE tells us that a new twist has occurred in this matter. A Premier League club, whose identity has not been leaked, has expressed formal interest in the Italian. No additional details were given (is this a pressure move to squeeze Madrid and/or Brazil?), but Ancelotti knows the English championship well, which he played with Chelsea (a title in 2010). ) and Everton.
