It is an almost perfect marriage and there is nothing that prevents the relationship from continuing over time. Carlo Ancelotti has adapted to the changes that Real Madrid requested at the beginning of the season, and what seemed to be his last mission on the Paseo de la Castellana will continue for two more seasons. There is no better coach than the Italian for the entity chaired by Florentino Pérez, and his more than remarkable first third of the campaign has only certified the union between those from Chamartín and the one from Reggiolo, which definitively put an end to the rumors that placed him in the Brazilian team during the next Copa América after making his renewal with the whites official until June 30, 2026.
The merengue team left everything agreed before going to the Christmas league break and wanted to make it official before returning to the frenetic activity of January, a month that has several slopes and in which the competitive saturation will continue to irritate the calm man who said not to do much that he would wait “until the last day” when the media insisted on his future. “We are very good. The relationship is very good. “I notice a lot of affection around me and this gives me more motivation,” said the coach at the beginning of December, knowing that the offer was on the table.
With his continuity on the bench, the 64-year-old coach can become the coach with the most days to lead Real Madrid consecutively since Miguel Múñoz, giving recognition to the stability rarely seen at the Santiago Bernabéu. In his five seasons as coach of Real Madrid, the Italian has won 10 titles: two Champions Leagues, two Club World Cups, two European Super Cups, one League, two Copas del Rey and one Spanish Super Cup.
The Italian has adapted perfectly to the changes requested by the entity, which requires the entry into the eleven of the young people that modern and current football requires as well as completing the metamorphosis in the midfield of Modric and Kroos towards what Previously it was plan B. Madrid, with the policy of signing talent that it has followed for years, gives a lot of importance to the long term, and it is something important when it comes to having a coach on the bench with clear ideas of continuity . Carletto’s good sporting results and fortitude to lead a team with a lot of talent and physical prowess have been key factors that have convinced the Madrid board to give the Italian coach the opportunity to continue expanding his club legend.
His numbers make him worthy of continuing and Florentino Pérez knows it well, who at first seemed in favor of holding on until the end of the year and seeing the last notes of the season to possibly take a step back and bet on Xabi Alonso, a young coach, elegant, perfect connoisseur of the white house and amply prepared because he has drunk from sources as diverse and opposite as that of Pep Guardiola or José Mourinho, among many other high-class coaches. The Italian and the president have always had a very good connection and with this contract extension the Italian will be the coach who will be the longest under the command of the president of Madrid, who began his second term in 2009.
Group management
Beyond the sporting results, Madrid have highly valued the management that the man from Reggiolo has done with the squad. Benzema left for Saudi football and did not sign a top world ‘9’ to take his place, so he changed the system to enhance the virtues of Jude Bellingham, who lives in a perpetual state of grace with 17 goals and 5 assists in 21 games. At the same time, he has never taken refuge in complaints or excuses with the plague of injuries that the team has had, especially losing three key pieces – Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao and David Alaba – due to torn anterior cruciate ligaments. knee, but has focused on making the most of the wardrobe he has. Another 19 absences during the first months of the competition have marked the pace of the white team, among which the little participation of Vinícius, Camavinga or Tchoauméni stands out.
Another great example is the patience he had with Rodrygo in his worst moment, acting as a paternalistic figure until allowing the Brazilian to recover his best version by scoring important goals.
Furthermore, if the Madrid offices were waiting to analyze the sporting performance to offer him a renewal, at this point, the Madridistas are the team with the least goals scored in the League, and adding the regularity tournament and the Champions League, they have only conceded 18 goals in 24 games, leaving a clean sheet in eleven of them, which is 45%. On the offensive side, the team has scored no less than 55 goals and has not lost since losing at the Metropolitano against Atlético de Madrid, its only defeat of the season. With this continuity, the white team will focus on the objectives of the second part of the season, where the year begins with a very tight schedule that has already been criticized on several occasions by Ancelotti. Spanish Super Cup, LaLiga, Copa del Rey and the Champions League are already waiting on the horizon.
