Carlo Ancelotti and the supporters of Real Madrid received a Christmas gift that was both timely and meaningful: an extension of the coach’s contract until the year 2026 via Real Madrid.
Due to the great job that he has done this season as well as his success since taking over the reigns for a second time, Real Madrid had no reservations about extending the Italian’s contract, which was set to expire in the summer of next year.
In light of the fact that the formal announcement was only recently made, Ancelotti has taken advantage of the occasion to show his delight about continuing his voyage around the Spanish city.
“Today is a day filled with joy. As long as I am able to continue dreaming at this club with these guys, I will be extremely pleased. It is a day that I need to make a note of on the calendar since it is a day that you should be joyful. Because the team has been successful in former years and because we are also experiencing success this year, I have decided to extend my membership.
This is extremely crucial because the club cannot be successful if there is not a strong connection between the coach and the players. The club recognizes that there is a positive environment between us, and this is recognized by the club. “I would like to express my gratitude not only to the club for the renewal, but also to the players, who are displaying an exceptional attitude,” he observed with a delighted expression.
Ancelotti considered Real Madrid as not just a big organization but also a close-knit family, and for this reason, he placed a strong emphasis on the ideals of kinship that are practiced in Madrid.
According to me, Real Madrid is first and foremost a family. Starting with the president, the aura that this club creates around it is quite recognizable to those who are acquainted with it. According to what he said, “because we work in a family environment, each of us brings out the best in ourselves.”
After then, Ancelotti acknowledged Florentino Perez, the President of the club, as the person who has been the most influential figure in our family, recognizing the amazing job that he has done over the previous twenty years. As he asserted:
In the world of football, Florentino is a guy who has accomplished something that no one else has been able to do. I consider him to be a father of a family. Due to the fact that he was the first fan of this team, he continues to have a very strong drive.
As a result of the fact that he has been wearing this garment ever since he was a youngster, he has developed a unique affection for it. It ensures that the club remains at the top. The things that he has accomplished over the course of the last two decades are of great significance to Real Madrid, just as Santiago Bernabéu was during the 1950s.
In addition, he continued by saying, “This club has a future.” He was looking ahead with cautious optimism. It is already written that the past has been written, and we are writing the present. In the first place, it has a bright future since it has a very youthful team and players that are highly skilled.
This club will continue to be successful in the future, just as it has been in the past and in the present. It is extremely likely that Madrid will have a prosperous future because of the new generation of football players that is emerging.
He went on a journey down memory lane to highlight some fantastic achievements from Real Madrid’s history when he was asked to remark on some memorable events that occurred during his time with the club.
A great number of them. In the beginning, we began with Bale’s goal in the Cup final against Valencia, Ramos’ goal in 2014, or the events that were experienced in the 14th UCL triumph, such as the semifinal and the comeback against PSG.
Every single moment is not lost on me. The triumph in the league, the Super Cup, and the Copa del Rey that occurred the previous year. The 64-year-old individual made the observation that all titles are significant and cannot be forgotten.
It would seem that Carlo Ancelotti, who has already won a staggering four Champions League championships, is still anxious to add a fifth trophy to his collection, as he has said that he is eager to add another title to his collection.
Are you aware of my remarkable performance in the Champions League? What has occurred is now in the past. As he stated, “I am looking forward, and when they tell me that I have won four European Cups, the only thing that I think about is winning the fifth one the following year.”
When he was asked to make parallels between his coaching tactics from 2013 and those he uses currently, he responded as follows:
It is my opinion that I have not changed either in person or via the process of coaching. On account of the fact that I have more experience, I could have a little bit more knowledge.
In order to shed light on his coaching team, Ancelotti explained that his colleagues are filled to the brim with enthusiasm and are always looking for methods to better via the use of technical innovations.
Despite their youth, they exude a great deal of energy. Every day, they are a great source of assistance to us, and they are always looking for new ways to improve our training and technology,” the coach said.
Due to the fact that Ancelotti has been given an extension, it is anticipated that he will be there for the opening of Santiago Bernabeu, which is nearing completion of its renovations. He stated in words:
If I had the opportunity, I would want to be the coach of the club when they open the new Bernabeu. Given that this contract has been renewed, I am able to speculate that I will be sitting on the bench on the day when this club plays its first game in the new Bernabéu. Things are going well for me.”
In the end, he sent a statement to the supporters, in which he made it clear that the club will make every effort to triumph over these challenges with their assistance.
“I hope that all Madridistas have a wonderful year! It is going to be done collectively, and we are going to work together to accomplish as much as we possibly can,” he vowed.
