Florentino Pérez, the president of Real Madrid, has allegedly expressed a substantial amount of dissatisfaction with Carlo Ancelotti, the head coach, after Real Madrid’s Supercopa de España final loss against Barcelona, which occurred on January 12, 2025. The match outcome was 5-2. As a result of the loss, tensions between Pérez and Ancelotti have increased. According to reports, Pérez is “embarrassed” by the performance of the club and has openly questioned Ancelotti’s plans and team selections.
According to the sources, Pérez is reportedly considering making adjustments to the managerial structure in the event that there are no immediate improvements. In previous seasons, Pérez has been driven to visit the locker room to directly address his issues with both the players and the coaching staff after suffering such disappointing defeats to Barcelona. This is not the first time that tension has occurred between the two; in fact, it is not even the current time.
Despite the fact that Ancelotti has previously achieved success with Real Madrid, including a victory in the Champions League in 2022, he is now dealing with heightened pressure. In light of the recent loss in the Super Cup, there has been an increase in the number of debates regarding the possibility of a leadership change being required, particularly in the event that the team’s performance does not improve quickly.
Real Madrid has not yet made any formal pronouncements regarding Carlo Ancelotti’s status; nonetheless, the issue is being carefully followed, and the forthcoming matches are expected to play a significant role in determining whether or not the coach will continue to be employed by the club.
