The 64-year-old Ancelotti was previously strongly linked to the position of head coach for Brazil, but now states he has no intention of leaving Real Madrid.
The Italian returned to the Spanish powerhouse in 2021 after previously coaching there from 2013 to 2015, marking his second stint at the club.
"As far as I'm concerned, I will also end my coaching career at Real Madrid," Ancelotti told Repubblica. The former coach of Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich has a contract at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu until mid-2026. "I will stay here as long as the club management wants me to continue."
Ancelotti's return to Real Madrid has been marked by significant success. After winning the La Liga title, he can now secure his third Champions League title with Real Madrid on Saturday, in a much-anticipated final against Borussia Dortmund. The former player of Parma, AS Roma, and AC Milan previously led the Spanish top club to Champions League victories in 2013/14 and 2021/22. His tactical acumen and leadership have been pivotal in maintaining Real Madrid's status as a European football powerhouse.
Ancelotti's illustrious career includes notable achievements beyond his time at Real Madrid. As the manager of AC Milan, he won the Champions League twice, cementing his reputation as one of the most successful coaches in European football history. His extensive experience across top European leagues has endowed him with a unique perspective and a versatile coaching style that continues to evolve with the demands of modern football.
Despite the allure of the Brazilian national team, Ancelotti's commitment to Real Madrid remains unwavering. His dedication to the club's long-term vision and his desire to continue shaping its future underscores his profound connection with Los Blancos. With a contract extending until 2026, Ancelotti's tenure at Real Madrid promises to be a defining chapter in his storied career, potentially culminating in a legacy that could see him retire as one of the club's most revered figures.
