Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has reassured head coach Carlo Ancelotti that his position at the club is secure, despite ongoing speculation about his future. According to reports, Perez met with Ancelotti over coffee at the club’s Valdebebas training facilities last Friday and reaffirmed his full confidence in the Italian coach.
The meeting comes amid rumors linking Ancelotti to the Brazil national team, as well as speculation about Xabi Alonso’s potential move to Real Madrid as the club’s next manager. However, Perez’s message to Ancelotti was one of reassurance, with the president valuing the manager’s leadership and the team’s efforts, particularly given the numerous injuries the squad has faced.
Ancelotti signed a two-year extension with Real Madrid in December 2023, and it is expected that he will see out the season with his job secure. The club’s decision-making process typically takes place at the end of the season, after the Club World Cup, and unless something unexpected happens, Ancelotti’s position is unlikely to be under threat.
Despite a challenging season, Real Madrid remains competitive in all competitions, and Perez’s vote of confidence is a significant boost to Ancelotti’s morale. The Italian coach has faced difficult moments this season, including a narrow Champions League qualification after eliminating Atletico Madrid in the last-16 stage.
The rumors surrounding Ancelotti’s potential move to Brazil continue to circulate, but it remains to be seen whether the Italian coach will be tempted by the opportunity to lead the national team at the 2026 World Cup. For now, Ancelotti appears to have the backing of Perez and the Real Madrid hierarchy.
Xabi Alonso, meanwhile, remains under contract with Bayer Leverkusen, where he enjoys the backing of the club for at least one more season. The former Spanish international dodged questions about his future last week, refusing to give a clear answer about his potential move to Real Madrid.
As the season enters its final stretch, Real Madrid will be looking to build momentum and secure more silverware. With Ancelotti at the helm, the club will be hoping to overcome their challenges and achieve success in the Champions League and La Liga.
The vote of confidence from Perez is a significant boost to Ancelotti’s chances of leading Real Madrid to success this season. However, the Italian coach will be aware that the club’s expectations are high, and he will need to deliver results to justify Perez’s faith in him.
As the speculation surrounding Ancelotti’s future continues to swirl, one thing is clear: the Italian coach has the backing of Perez and the Real Madrid hierarchy, and he will be given the opportunity to lead the club to success this season.
