Following Real Madrid’s elimination from the Champions League, Carlo Ancelotti was questioned about his future with the club, and his response put everyone in a state of uncertainty.
On Wednesday night, Los Blancos’ hopes of qualifying for the Champions League were dashed inside the Bernabeu as they delivered yet another terrible performance against Arsenal. This was the final straw that broke the camel’s back.
The Gunners were able to win a 2-1 victory courtesy to goals scored by Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka. The Gunners had already taken a 3-0 lead from the first leg of the match. Vinicius Jr. provided the fans with a glimmer of optimism, but even that was eventually insufficient.
The pressure on Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti immediately increased after the match, and he is now facing an uncertain future as a result of the team’s inability to successfully defend their European championship.
During the press conference that took place after the match, Ancelotti was questioned about whether or not he will continue to serve as the manager of Madrid when the FIFA Club World Cup begins on June 15.
The response from the Italian was, “My future? Not only do I not know, but I also do not wish to know.
We’ve gone a long way over the course of so many years. Take a look at what happens the following year. Not only do I not know what is going to take place, but I also do not wish to know. There is time right now for this.”
When asked whether he still thinks he is the appropriate guy to lead Madrid forward, Ancelotti said: “I haven’t thought about that.”
Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois endorsed Ancelotti while speaking about the 65-year-old after the game.
The Belgian said: “There’s no difficulty there, we have no reservations about the management. On the pitch, it is up to us to carry out the instructions that he gives us.
Because of the uncertainty surrounding Ancelotti’s future, players like as Xabi Alonso, Jurgen Klopp, Andoni Iraola, and Zinedine Zidane have all been mentioned in connection with a potential transfer to the Bernabeu.
Due to the fact that Madrid is now pursuing Barcelona in the competition to become the champions of La Liga, they will now be need to shift their attention back to the domestic football competition.
The team coached by Carlo Ancelotti is currently in second place, four points behind Barcelona, with seven matches still to participate in.
In the meanwhile, the two most dominant teams in La Liga will compete against each other in the Copa del Rey final later this month.
On Sunday evening, Madrid will play Athletic Club, marking their return to action this weekend. The match will take place.
