Carlo Ancelotti considers leaving Real Madrid in summer
Ancelotti Considering Future at Real Madrid
Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, has always maintained that he will only leave the club if he is sacked. However, recent reports suggest that he may be reevaluating his stance on his future at the Spanish club.
Brazil’s Interest in Ancelotti
Following a disappointing 4-1 defeat to Argentina, Brazil made the decision to dismiss manager Dorival Junior and have reignited their interest in Ancelotti for 2023. According to reports, the Brazilian Football Confederation President sees Ancelotti as his ‘dream’ signing, alongside Al-Hilal manager Jorge Jesus. Brazil is looking to appoint their new manager before the next South American qualifiers, potentially causing either candidate to leave their current roles before the Club World Cup in June.
Ancelotti’s Reconsideration
Despite previously expressing his commitment to Real Madrid until 2029, Ancelotti is reportedly reconsidering his future at the club. The demands of the job and talks of potential replacements, such as Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso, have contributed to his doubts. Additionally, the impending departure of his son and assistant manager, Davide Ancelotti, adds a personal and professional element to his decision-making process.
Leverkusen has publicly stated that Alonso will remain with the club for the next season, but rumors persist in Madrid about his potential role as Ancelotti’s successor. Ancelotti himself has acknowledged the toll that the heavy Real Madrid schedule has taken on him, admitting that motivating his players has become increasingly challenging.
