Two European powerhouses are reportedly interested in hiring Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti, who is nearing a certain departure from the Los Blancos. The 65-year-old has already been contacted about his availability at the end of the current campaign.
The cunning Italian’s campaign in Spain has been extremely hectic. His team, led by Vinicius Jr., Kylian Mbappe, and Jude Bellingham, was eliminated by Arsenal from the Champions League, and their title defence is in shambles.
With four points more than Ancelotti and company, who have the best chance of finishing the season with a trophy in the Copa del Rey, Hansi Flick’s Barcelona are currently on track to win Spain’s first division.

He is planning to return to his native Italy.
Despite Los Blancos’ fairly disappointing season, Ancelotti is still regarded as one of the greatest football managers of all time, and all the signs point to his leaving his position at the end of the 2024–25 campaign, regardless of their level of success.
As a result, he has plenty of admirers, especially since it was announced that he would be changing jobs in May. According to The Mirror, AC Milan is interested in bringing the veteran back to San Siro, according to Italian daily La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Between 2001 and 2009, Ancelotti managed the Rossoneri for eight years, during which time he achieved great success. In the capital of his own country, he took home numerous awards, including two Champions League titles.
The article claims that Ancelotti has also communicated with AS Roma, another Serie A team. The team is now led by Claudio Ranieri, a former Premier League champion, and its executives are searching for a replacement for the 73-year-old.
The veteran Ranieri, who was hired by Roma for the second time in November and has led his team to a 17-game winning streak, is a member of Leicester City royalty. However, reports indicate that Ancelotti may replace him in the summer. The former Everton manager, who has been linked to the Brazil position in recent months, may be returning to Italy, where he has spent the majority of his three-decade managerial career.
Ancelotti has acknowledged that he is still in the “honeymoon” phase at the club. “I love being here and I hope this will last as long as possible. The honeymoon continues. I’m very happy, contented,” he said, according to Mail Online. “There is a lot of pressure, true, but that is always the case at this point of the season. I’m happy with the club, they know this has been a tough season. Stress is fuel – it doesn’t bother me, it gives me more energy.” As previously stated, this season has been an exception for Ancelotti, who is a serial winner, as shown by his record five Champions Leagues, and he will probably bring success to whichever side he joins next, whether it be at the club level or on the international scene.
