Carlo Ancelotti’s tenure as Real Madrid manager is currently under scrutiny following a disappointing exit from the UEFA Champions League, which has led to speculation about his future ahead of a crucial El Clasico against Barcelona.
Ancelotti, who is revered at the Bernabeu, may face the possibility of being replaced if the team doesn’t perform well in upcoming matches, particularly the Copa Del Rey final against Barcelona on April 27.
Real Madrid is trailing behind Barcelona in the La Liga title race, and with seven rounds left in the season, the pressure is mounting on Ancelotti and his squad.
Reports suggest that the club is exploring potential replacements, including former player Xabi Alonso and current Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
Ancelotti’s comments after the Champions League defeat indicate awareness of the precarious situation, as he acknowledged the need for his team to regroup and focus on the upcoming challenges.
While Ancelotti remains committed to his role, he has openly expressed uncertainty about what lies ahead, hinting that he could depart sooner than his contract’s expiration date, which is set for next year.
Additionally, he has been linked to a potential coaching position with the Brazilian national team, although he has stated that he is not considering any other opportunities until his time at Real Madrid officially concludes.
As the season progresses, the stakes are high, and the outcome of the next matches will significantly impact Ancelotti’s future and the trajectory of the team as they look to reclaim pride against their archrivals, Barcelona.
