Carlo Ancelotti’s future at Real Madrid could be decided in the near future, with growing speculation about his potential dismissal following the team’s failure to secure the Copa del Rey.
According to Marca, before Real’s La Liga match against Celta, Ancelotti will have a meeting with club president Florentino Perez, where a final decision on his future will be made.
While there’s a chance Ancelotti could remain until the end of the season, reports suggest his departure is increasingly likely. Sources claim that former Real Madrid star Xabi Alonso is waiting for the outcome of this meeting, and that club officials have contacted him multiple times by phone throughout the day.
However, Ancelotti is unlikely to be out of work for long. Brazil is reportedly eager to bring the experienced coach on board, with plans for him to take over the national team. In South America, there’s hope that Ancelotti can help restore the “Selecao” to World Cup glory. The Athletic reports that the Italian will likely begin his new role in June, with the contract expected to be a short-term one.
