Real Madrid CF has announced the departure of manager Carlo Ancelotti by mutual agreement, marking the end of an extraordinary era for both the Italian tactician and the Spanish giants.
The club released an official statement paying tribute to Ancelotti’s remarkable achievements during his six seasons at the helm.
Ancelotti leaves as the most successful manager in Real Madrid’s storied 123-year history, having secured an unprecedented 15 major trophies. His glittering collection includes three UEFA Champions League titles, three FIFA Club World Cups, three UEFA Super Cups, two La Liga championships, two Copa del Rey victories, and two Spanish Super Cups.
Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez expressed the club’s deep appreciation for Ancelotti’s contributions, stating: “Carlo Ancelotti is now forever part of the great Real Madrid family. We are proud to have enjoyed a coach who has helped us achieve so much success and who has also represented the values of our club in an exemplary manner.”
The Santiago Bernabéu will host an emotional farewell for Ancelotti during tomorrow’s match, which will mark his final appearance as Real Madrid manager. The tribute promises to celebrate the 64-year-old’s legacy as the architect of one of the most dominant periods in the club’s history.
Real Madrid extended their best wishes to Ancelotti and his family for their future endeavors, acknowledging his status as both a club legend and one of football’s most respected figures. The statement emphasized Ancelotti’s embodiment of Real Madrid’s values while guiding the team through their most trophy-laden era.
Ancelotti’s departure concludes his second spell with Los Blancos, having previously managed the club from 2013 to 2015 before returning in 2021. His tactical acumen and man-management skills cemented his reputation as one of the game’s greatest coaches, with his Real Madrid tenure standing as the crowning achievement of his illustrious career.
The club’s announcement did not specify Ancelotti’s next destination, though widespread reports suggest he is set to take charge of the Brazilian national team.
