With uncertainty still surrounding his future, Carlo Ancelotti has decided to break his silence. In a recent press conference, the Real Madrid manager confirmed that he will speak publicly about his plans on May 25, marking the end of what has been a turbulent season for the club.
The Italian coach, whose contract runs until 2024, appears to be on his way out, with persistent rumors linking him to the Brazilian national team. Despite early negotiation setbacks, Spanish media now report that an agreement between Ancelotti and the Brazilian Football Confederation is already in place.
For now, Ancelotti remains focused on finishing the season strong with Real Madrid, who still have a chance at the La Liga title, depending on a potential slip-up from FC Barcelona. However, the recent Copa del Rey final loss to Barcelona has further weakened his standing at the club.
When repeatedly questioned about his future, Ancelotti made things clear: “There are five matches left, and anything can happen. We must not give up. We have to win these five games and give everything. (…) I don’t know what will happen, but whatever it is, it will be a fantastic farewell”. He then added an important detail: “I will talk about my future on the 25th”.
Until then, the Italian coach is focused on the season’s final stretch. With a crucial Clasico ahead, the Liga title still mathematically within reach, and the potential end of his time at Madrid looming, Carlo Ancelotti is heading into a tense and decisive month of May.
