Real Madrid have just completed the extension of two key members of Carlo Ancelotti’s staff. According to BrandAntonio Pintus, fitness trainer, and Luis Llopin, goalkeeping coach, both considered internally as key men in the organization chart set up by the Italian coach, will continue the adventure on the Real Madrid side. More surprisingly, their future is not linked to that of Ancelotti. They were extended independently of the coach’s mandate with 5 Champions Leagues and will still be part of the Madrid staff even if the latter leaves.

Both men arrived in Madrid after the arrival of the Italian and his staff, they also saw their contract renewals arrive a little later than those of the rest of the squad. However, they already knew the house before being called by Don Carlo, as both were present during the treble achieved under the leadership of Zinedine Zidane when he was in charge of Real Madrid.
