Ancelotti: Contracts Can Be Terminated or Extended; I Want to Stay at Real Madrid as Long as Possible
Carlo Ancelotti expressed his desire to remain at Real Madrid.
According to nexnews, 2025 could be a turning point for Carlo Ancelotti. He is working to get Real Madrid back on track after a turbulent start to the season. Although the team has managed to stabilize its position in La Liga, any minor or major mistake in various competitions, including the UEFA Champions League, could put more pressure on the manager.
Presence at Other Clubs
Ancelotti recently spoke about his future. As usual, he avoided making definitive statements and did not give any clear answers to the media. Regarding his contract, he said: “My contract at Real Madrid? You never know how long you can stay with a team. Contracts can be terminated or extended.”
Xabi Alonso has also been mentioned as a potential candidate to succeed Ancelotti.
In discussing the possibility of coaching Roma, a club reportedly interested in him, Ancelotti stated: “Coaching Roma? I’m very happy at Real Madrid, and I want to stay here as long as possible.”
Many Trophies
Ancelotti talked about the importance of winning titles, noting that it continues to drive him forward. He said: “At Real Madrid, the day you win a trophy, you’re already thinking about the next one. The next trophy is the Spanish Super Cup, followed by the UEFA Champions League, La Liga, the FIFA Club World Cup… this cycle never ends, and that’s what keeps me motivated.”
Ancelotti also addressed the team’s tough start in the Champions League, saying: “In the Champions League, everyone’s goal is to reach the final. Our path hasn’t been easy so far, but we have two games left to qualify, and then we’ll see how things go. Liverpool has done well so far, but we need to be ready to win in March and April.”
Real Madrid is currently in 20th place in their Champions League group with only three wins from six games. They need to win their remaining two matches to avoid the risk of elimination.
Ancelotti also commented on Milan’s decision to sack their manager, Paolo Fonseca, saying: “I think being sacked is part of a manager’s job. I’ve been sacked thousands of times. When a team has problems, the responsibility falls on one person. That’s the problem with our job. In tough times, the coach is alone. Fonseca knows what happens if he doesn’t get the desired results. They say when one door closes, another one opens. Coaches are upset when they are fired, but they move on.”
