Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti wants to end this season as his last season at the club.
The legendary Italian manager won both La Liga and the Champions League last season. He wanted to end his managerial career after winning the double, but Florentino Pérez requested him to continue.
In the end, He chose to stay at the club because of his son and assistant, Davide growing up his career at Real Madrid.
In an interview with Il Messaggero last summer, he told: “After the whites, I leave it. Madrid is the pinnacle of football, it makes sense to put an end to this experience here”.
Real Madrid Leaving Rumours of Ancelotti
But the Italian’s future is still not clear. Rumours suggest that he may retire from managing clubs and will continue his career in managing national teams.
In his illustrious managerial career, he worked with Parma, Juventus, Milan, Chelsea, PSG, Bayern Munich, Napoli, Everton, and also with Real Madrid once a few years back. But he never denied the fact that he wants to coach a national team.
The Evertonian manager never hid his love for Canada as a country and its football team. His wife is also from Canada and the Italian secretly married her in Canada in 2014.
He is a big admirer of the country as he told about his preferred country for the World Cup in Qatar in an interview with Amazon Prime Video: “I will cheer for Canada, it is my second country. The president of the federation is Italian. And Canada qualified in an extraordinary way and has very good players, I will be wearing the Canada jersey in Qatar”.
The 63-year-old also added: “A selection in the future may be an option. Canada? Why not? I would like that. It was very good for him in this last World Cup process”.
Link with Tuchel
As Carlo Ancelotti’s managerial continuity is increasingly in doubt, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has identified Thomas Tuchel to replace the Italian.
The English side Chelsea has recently sacked Thomas Tuchel as their manager after having differences with the new owners. The German was always in Perez’s frame, as he wanted Tuchel to replace Zidane. But he was managing Chelsea then.
Tuchel is a big name in World football. His CV includes managing some big stars, and also one Champions League with Chelsea. Rumours suggest that Real Madrid’s president has asked the German manager not to sign a contract with any other club. Bayern Munich is also considering him to replace Julian Nagelsmann. As he is not doing well in recent weeks.
