Real Madrid -Baas Carlo Ancelotti reportedly made the daring decision to leave the club at the end of the 2024/25 season.
Ancelotti's current contract in the Spanish capital runs until the end of the 2025/26 campaign, but their brutal UEFA Champions League exit has changed the situation.
Club president Florentino Perez is preparing for crunch conversations with the Italian coach to a planning card about what happens next in Madrid.
Ancelotti has expressed his wish to concentrate on the season walk, with the La Liga Title Race and Copa del Rey Final Both Still In The Balance, both of which have important fights with Barcelona,
Xabi Alonso is marked as the favorite to come in, when Ancelotti leaves, with the former midfielder also under contract until 2026 to Bayer Leverkusen.
Despite rumors that Ancelotti will be fired with Barcelona on 26 April after the Copa del Rey final – regardless of the result – with the potential of a caregiver appointed until the end of May, the Exit date of Ancelotti has now been unveiled.
Ancelotti will leave his role on per exclusive reports from David Ornstein of athletics, but not until the last ball in the 20424/25 season is kicked.
Conversations will take place before and after the Copa del Rey, but the position of Ancelotti seems to be set, and Perez will choose to dismiss him without the chance to see the campaign.
Negotiations with Alonso will then get up, because Real Madrid is obliged to pay compensation to break his contract with Ancelotti who is preparing for conversations with Brazil.
The Samba boys have been focusing on Ancelotti for the National Team Course for more than 12 months and the position has become empty again after the Dorvial Junior firing.
Ancelotti has remained open to the idea of a daring move to Rio de Janeiro, and that role is now his preferred option, after he had left Madrid earlier than he had expected.
