After Real Madrid’s lacklustre performance against Arsenal in their Champions League quarterfinal, a sizable section of the team’s supporters are demanding that manager Carlo Ancelotti be fired immediately. Los Blancos’ hopes of making it to the semi-finals have been severely weakened by their humbling 3-0 loss at The Emirates.
Real Madrid supporters, who had been hoping for a big comeback after Valencia crushed their ambitions of winning La Liga over the weekend, were especially hurt by the defeat. Rather, Arsenal completely controlled the team, and Ancelotti’s strategies and substitutions were closely examined.
Due to his recurrent inability to adjust and make wise judgements during pivotal games, many supporters are now directly blaming Ancelotti. Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has come under fire for the Italian manager’s failure to motivate his players and make significant decisions on the pitch, and some supporters have called for his dismissal.
Ancelotti is under increasing pressure to produce results; if he doesn’t, he might lose his job. In the current circumstances, it is unclear if Pérez will support his manager through hardship or act decisively and fire Ancelotti.
