𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: It’s now almost impossible for Carlo Ancelotti to Continue at Real Madrid

Carlo Ancelotti’s future with Real Madrid has been a subject of intense speculation, especially following the team’s disappointing 3-0 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. This loss appears to have tipped the scales against him comprehensively. Prior to this match, Real Madrid faced a series of challenging contests, narrowly scraping past Leganes and Real Sociedad while suffering a home defeat to Valencia. However, against Arsenal, the team’s disorganization and lack of resolve in the second half was glaring, highlighting the existing cracks in the team’s structure.

The spotlight of criticism has predominantly fallen on Ancelotti, who has faced harsh scrutiny for his tactical decisions during matches and his failure to assemble a stable and efficient starting lineup. This season has presented numerous challenges, and the Madrid-based outlet Relevo has characteristically noted that Ancelotti now finds himself in a precarious position regarding his job security. Their analysis suggests that unless Ancelotti engineers a remarkable turnaround at the Santiago Bernabeu in the forthcoming fixtures, it could very well influence President Florentino Perez’s decision about his continuing role at the club.

All season long, Real Madrid has been plagued by inconsistency, and Ancelotti had previously relied on positive results to justify his management. Yet, in light of this recent defeat, that rationale is beginning to crumble, raising doubts about his ability to guide the team effectively through the final year of his contract. Reports now indicate that it is “practically impossible” for Ancelotti to remain in his position come next season, indicating a watershed moment for his management tenure at the club.

Ancelotti, who has been celebrated as a legend within the Real Madrid organization, is now facing the tough reality of not being able to effectively integrate his star players into a cohesive team. This failure to create a united front on the pitch significantly undermines his standing, especially in an environment where success is expected. While there remains a slim possibility that winning the Champions League or La Liga could salvage his position, this assertion is increasingly becoming a long shot given the current circumstances.

In the meantime, Real Madrid has been quietly engaging in discussions with Xabi Alonso, the manager of Bayer Leverkusen, who has made a strong impression since taking the helm at the Bundesliga club. Despite Leverkusen’s insistence that Alonso will remain, it is widely believed that if Ancelotti is to exit, Real Madrid will actively seek to bring Alonso back into the fold. Sources suggest that Alonso has a handshake agreement with Leverkusen’s CEO, Fernando Carro, allowing him to leave if Madrid expresses serious interest. This potential scenario adds yet another layer of complexity to Ancelotti’s precarious position as head coach, as Real Madrid weighs its options for the future and considers a return to its illustrious past with a former player at the helm.
