The circumstances surrounding Carlo Ancelotti’s potential future at Real Madrid are as perplexing as they could possibly be.
Real Madrid is of the opinion that the Italian tactician has not committed his future to any other party, and as a result, they are currently considering the possibility of renewing his contract beyond the summer of this year.According to insiders, they are hoping to finalize the agreement before Christmas.
However, at the same time, the Brazilian Football Confederation is certain that the manager will join forces with them during the summer of next year and that the coach will make a commitment to them about his future.
Real Madrid is getting ready for both of these scenarios.
To be sure, Real Madrid is making it a top priority to extend Carlo Ancelotti’s contract beyond the summer of this year, when it is scheduled to expire. Despite this, they are aware that the lack of clarity is not a good sign, and they are making preparations for the worst case scenario nevertheless.
Due to this, Los Blancos have a large list of possible candidates who might take over in the event that Ancelotti decides to step down from his position. On the list, Roberto de Zerbi’s name is included as one of the names.
In the subsequent section of his most recent report, Mario Cortegana confirms the same information. According to the reputable Spanish writer, Los Blancos have a favorable impression of the profile of the Brighton & Hove Albion manager.
On the other hand, he adds that there has been no action taken as of yet, which is in contrast to earlier claims that said that contact had been established.
De Zerbi is considered to be one of the greatest managers over the long haul since he places a strong emphasis on building the profiles of his players from the basic levels all the way up to the highest levels. Given the abundance of young talent at Real Madrid, it is possible that he would be a suitable match for the club.
The recent attitude taken by Ancelotti
Since the beginning of this year, the manager of Real Madrid has been generally evasive on his future. There have been other instances on which he has said that he is open to the possibility of a renewal; nevertheless, it does not seem that discussions are moving beyond the level of speculation.
At the beginning of this week, the manager addressed the contentious issue of his future in a series of interviews with the media.
“I am experiencing a high level of comfort in Madrid. Whatever is going to take place in the future will take place. By saying, “I’m not in any hurry, I’m very happy,” he was alluding to the possibility of prolonging his stay in Madrid.
In spite of this, there is no way to know for certain what will happen in the world of football until it actually happens.
