Real Madrid, without any doubts, announced Carlo Ancelotti’s dismissal as their head coach, thus marking the bitter end of the era of the legendary Italian at his very home—Santiago Bernabeu.
Such a release was already declared by the Brazilian Football Confederation a few months ago when they mentioned that Ancelotti would be in charge of the national team from 2025.
In a touching note, the Spaniard club conveyed their sincere feeling of gratitude to Ancelotti and went to such a level with the definition of the Italian strategist as “an authentic legend not only in Real Madrid but in world football. ” He was the club’s most successful manager to date, securing 15 titles over six seasons.
Among the silverware picked up by Ancelotti are 3 Champions League trophies, 3 Club World Cups, 3 UEFA Super Cups, 2 LaLiga championships, 2 Copa del Rey titles, and 2 Spanish Supercup titles. The last game before the media will take place on Saturday in the Santiago Bernabéu, where the club will also be honoring him.
“He will forever be part of the great Madridista family.” stated Club president Florentino Pérez emphasizing the impact of Ancelotti.
It is expected that Xabi Alonso, who was formerly a Real Madrid midfielder, will be named Ancelotti’s successor some days later. This much-liked decision will move Bayer Leverkusen’s skipper to the bench.
