Ancelotti’s last coartada

Charles Ancelotti He already experienced this situation in the first person back in 2015. At that time he took over the reins of a team that he turned into Champions League champions in Lisbon, but during the following spring the white president got tired of seeing the face of the Italian, the flowers withered and Carletto abruptly ended his relationship with Real Madrid without reaching the extension of the contract.

The wind has been blowing for days at Real Madrid. And the first to perceive it was Ancelotti himself. Carlo has a contract until June 2024, but he knows, from his own experience, that the only alibi he has to fulfill it is to win titles. And he only has the Copa del Rey and the Champions League remaining.

The coach has already heard war drums coming from the noble area of ​​the Bernabéu. It has been of little use that they won the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup, because the Italian already has the rope placed next to the knot of the tie. And he knows it. From the club he is blamed for throwing away the League due to poor management of the squad, ignoring that it is an unbalanced block with amortized players like Hazard, Odriozola or Mariano and a problem on the sides, which the coach has patched up with Lucas Vázquez and Nacho. He has also chained three straight defeats against Barça and has given few opportunities to Ceballos, Asensio and Nachofootballers whom Madrid wants to renew, but who could leave the club tired of being regular substitutes for the Italian.

flirting with brazil

It is so evident that the climate has become rare, that Carlo Ancelotti, in an unprecedented event during his stay at Real Madrid, has come to flirt with Brazil, who is considering his name as the top favorite to occupy the bench of the green-amarhela . “If the reality is that a team like Brazil loves me, I love that and I’m very excited. Then you have to respect the things done as a contract that I want to fulfill. I don’t know the president of the Brazilian Federation, but if he wants to talk to me I would love to meet him and say hello,” he said.

And it is not the only gesture that invites us to think that the Italian is looking for alternatives in the face of an incipient exit at the end of this season. His son Davide, Madrid’s assistant coach, is considering becoming Basel’s first coach. The Ancelotti scion has spent several seasons probing the market to make the leap and assume a bench as head coach. Initiative that his father applauds, despite the fact that it would mean losing him as a right hand in the Madrid technical staff. Davide, 33, already had the opportunity to take charge of Everton this season, but Carletto’s son did not want to leave his father alone taking on the challenge of defending the European champion crown with the whites.

David, ¿at Basel?

Ancelotti junior, always under the wing of his father, began his career as a physical trainer at PSG, went through Madrid, Bayern, Napoli, Everton and returned to the Bernabéu in the current stage as Carletto’s second. But now he has made the decision to take responsibility for another team. Despite the fact that he has a contract until June 2024, like his father, the club assumes that Davide will fly looking to write his own history on the bench.

Before this situation, Carlo’s options to complete the last year that he has signed with Madrid go through eliminate Barcelona in the Camp Nou and win the Cup, and then win the Champions League in Istanbul, repeating the success of Paris. Only in this way does it seem that Florentino will respect what was signed and will keep Ancelotti, whom he already fired in his day “for his soft hand with the dressing room.”

It is not a strange situation, because Zinedine Zidane already experienced something similar in his day. Florentino’s falling out of love with the French coach, even though ‘Zizou’ chained three Champions Leagues in a row, resulted in a friction that caused the divorce and the departure of Zidane on his own initiative up to two times.
