Real Madrid keeps its sights on Carlo Ancelotti’s future after Barcelona’s defeat

Real Madrid entered a second crisis of the season in about an hour on Sunday night, suffering Barcelona’s second beating of the season, this time in the Spanish Super Cup final in Saudi Arabia. Naturally, Carlo Ancelotti saw the glare of the spotlight focus on his eyes after the result.

The Italian coach has been widely criticized for Los Blancos’ performance, and earlier this season it also seemed that his position could be under threat. However, Cadena Cope claims that Real Madrid will continue to support their coach at least for the remainder of the season, and no in-depth analysis was carried out after the match or on the return trip.

Diario AS says that confidence in Ancelotti has been erased by his second defeat in the Classic, but that there is no intention of sacking him during the season, largely due to the difficulty of bringing in anyone at this stage of the season. The hierarchy takes into account the impact of injuries, but it is clear that Ancelotti has yet to find the recipe for success, even if he is still in the fight for La Liga.

It is also noted that the specter of Xabi Alonso continues to lurk in the background, but that any decision on Ancelotti’s replacement will be made at the end of the season.

Just a few weeks ago, reports were coming from the capital that Ancelotti could complete his contract at the club, with Alonso waiting until 2026 to move to the Santiago Bernabeu. However, if things change this season, Ancelotti will be aware that his days are numbered. However, if there is one thing that Ancelotti has shown throughout his career, it is durability.
