Real Madrid’s manager Carlo Ancelotti ended the speculations about his future by signing a new contract with the La Liga powerhouse.

Real announced the news on Friday, saying that Ancelotti’s deal now runs through the 2025-26 season. The Italian’s previous contract was set to expire in the summer of 2024.

Ancelotti was previously linked with Brazil’s national team’s head coaching vacancy. The head of the Brazilian football federation, Ednaldo Rodrigues, publicly stated that Ancelotti was the first choice for the job, and many believed that the two sides already had a contract in place.

After the news about his new contract with Real was made official, Ancelotti went on X (former Twitter) to share his excitement.

“Today is a happy day. Real Madrid and I will continue our journey together, looking for new, greater successes,” Ancelotti wrote in a post.

Carlo Ancelotti returned to Real Madrid for his second stint in 2021. He won the La Liga and UEFA Champions League in his first year in charge while winning Copa del Rey last season.

Ancelotti has Real first in the La Liga in 2023-24 with 45 points, tied with second-placed Girona and seven more than their bitter rivals Barcelona. Real is also through to the Round of 16 in UCL, where they are set to face RB Leipzig.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti insists that his squad is “complete” without the addition of striker Kylian Mbappe from Real Madrid. The La Liga giants have been linked with Mbappe for months, with many expecting the French star to join Madrid on a free transfer when his PSG contract runs out in 2024.

“The squad is fine,” Ancelotti said after his team defeated Manchester United 2-0 in a friendly in Houston, Texas. “We won’t have problems with the squad. A problem would be having a squad without quality…The squad is great. It’s complete.”

Ancelotti’s team was in fine form during Wednesday night’s game, with new $115 million signing Jude Bellingham opening the scoring by lobbing the ball over new United goalkeeper Andre Onana. Minutes before the final whistle, fellow summer signing Joselu doubled Madrid’s lead with a stunning overhead kick.

Speculation regarding Mbappe increased this summer following the departure of Madrid’s first-choice striker Karim Benzema, who signed for Saudi Pro League club Al Ittihad.

Carlo Ancelotti emphasized the importance of experienced players such as Luka Modric and Toni Kroos to Real Madrid’s success. This comes after Los Blancos defeated Liverpool 1-0 in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 clash to advance to the quarterfinals on a 6-2 aggregate win.

Having shocked Liverpool in a surprising 5-2 away win at Anfield in the first leg, Karim Benzema’s 78th-minute goal was enough to seal victory in the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday night. While the likes of rising stars such as Eduardo Camavinga and Vinicius Junior were key to Madrid’s win, Ancelotti stated the importance of veterans such as Modric and Kroos in the lineup.

“The atmosphere is created by the players,” Ancelotti stated. “The humility of the veterans is the key, they have no ego. The youngsters are patient, knowing they have players with fantastic careers ahead of them. But Modric and Kroos don’t play because of the careers they’ve had, they play because they deserve it.”

The current contracts of both Modric and Kroos are set to expire at the end of the season if a new deal isn’t reached.

Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed his intention to remain at Real Madrid until his contract expires in June 2024, thereby putting an end to rumors of his potential exit. Several reports emerged linking the 63-year-old Ancelotti to the vacant managerial position for the Brazil national team following the departure of Tite after the team’s World Cup quarterfinal exit.

Ancelotti insists that he remains committed to the ongoing project at Real Madrid and that he is focused on leading successful LaLiga, Spanish Super Cup, and Champions League title defenses while also preparing the team for the Club World Cup in February.

“I don’t know what the future holds for me, I live day-by-day,” Ancelotti commented on the Italian Rai Radio 1 show. “I have a contract until June 30, 2024, and, if Real Madrid don’t sack me before then, I’m not going to move.”

In addition to shedding light on his coaching future, Ancelotti also directed praise at Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni for leading his team to World Cup glory on Sunday night. Ancelotti stated that Scaloni instilled a stellar defensive organization within his team.

The problem that Belgium international forward Eden Hazard has at Real Madrid this season is finally revealed. His manager Carl Ancelotti simply prefers “another player.”

Ancelotti himself admitted this on Tuesday when he was asked by reporters about Hazard’s lack of playing time.

“The problem [Hazard] has right now is he has a coach who prefers another player,” Ancelotti said. “That can happen in a squad like Real Madrid’s. What’s important is the player has the motivation to work to play. He is doing that.”

Ancelotti added that Hazard has “all the characteristics” to be Real’s player and expressed belief that the 30-year-old will start getting more playing time as the season progresses if he continues to show improvements in form.

Hazard made eight appearances for Real in 2021-22 and has collected five starts in all competitions. He is yet to score a goal but managed to contribute an assist season opener against Alaves.

Eden Hazard joined Real Madrid in 2019 from Chelsea in a transfer worth around $115 million. At the time, he was considered one of the world’s best players and supposed to be the leader for the La Liga side in years to come. But things haven’t exactly worked out as planned as Hazard often battled with injuries since arriving in Spain while struggling to make an impact when healthy.

On Wednesday night, one of the most exciting UEFA Champions League matches took place on Parc des Princes in Paris. It was a duel between one of the most successful soccer clubs in history Bayern Munich and one of the wealthiest, Paris Saint-Germain. PSG won the game 3-0 and showed that the team’s owners spent their money well. On the other hand, Bayern Munich didn’t only lose the game. They have also lost patience with their manager Carlo Ancelotti and announced on Thursday that they have decided to search for a new person to take over the team. Current assistant manager and former Bayern Munich player Willy Sagnol has been appointed as interim manager. Thomas Tuchel and Julian Nagelsmann are targeted by the club to fill the vacated position, but Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp isn’t out of the picture.

“The performance of our team since the start of the season did not meet the expectations we put to them,” – said Bayern’s chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, explaining the team’s decision. “I would like to thank Carlo for his cooperation. Carlo is my friend and will remain my friend, but we had to make a professional decision. The game in Paris clearly showed that we had to draw consequences.“

Ancelotti didn’t make comments to the media about him being fired, but did went on Twitter and said that “it has been a great honour to form part of Bayern’s history” and thanked “the Players and it’s amazing fans.”
