Ancelotti denies Real Madrid exit

Spanish radio station Onda Cero reported on Monday that Ancelotti had decided to leave at the end of the campaign, despite his contract running until 2026.

However, Ancelotti quickly debunked the report, insisting that he wants to remain at the Bernabeu.

“No. I want to be very clear. I won’t decide my departure date from this club,” Ancelotti said ahead of Madrid’s Champions League game with RB Salzburg.

“I know the day will come. But when that day will come, I don’t know. I won’t decide. It could be tomorrow, after the next game, in a year, or in five years.”

Ancelotti added that he plans to remain with the club for four more years, with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez set to stay at the helm until 2029.

“I have a target. We have Florentino [Pérez] here for another four years,” Ancelotti added, smiling, after Pérez was re-elected as club president. “He knows me well, and the target is to be here for those four years. We can leave together with all the affection in the world!”

“I feel very loved [here] in every sense, by the fans, by the club. And by the media. Sometimes things get exaggerated, but I want to stay objective and follow my path.”

In danger of missing the playoffs

Real Madrid are currently the reigning Champions League winner.

However, Los Blancos remain 20th in the 36-team table, four points behind the automatic qualification spots.

Ancelotti has set his team the goal of two wins to finish their campaign, hoping to secure a top-eight finish.

“We don’t have much chance, but the only chance we have is winning the two remaining games,” Ancelotti said.

“If we have to play the playoff round, we’ll do our best. It’s a demanding calendar, but we’re used to it.”
