The daily I would write about an imminent change of coach at Real Madrid. In the locker room, Carlo Ancelotti would already be history.
Nothing yet is signed. Carlo Ancelotti himself postponed any discussion about his future for May 25 or … 2026, when his contract with Real Madrid expires. But the Spanish press shows an end to the collaboration with the Italian technician at the end of the current season.

The players have already taken “goodbye” from Carlo Ancelotti
The daily AS is based on his sources in the Blanco entourage and claims that the players have already taken “goodbye” from Don Carlo. “Let's see the year, with Xabi (no – Xabi Alonso)”, the discussions that are carried out in the locker room and in the offices of Santiago Bernabeu would sound: “Such conversations have already become normal.”
Also “on sources”, from the entourage of the leadership, AS received the confirmation that “Ancelotti will sign an agreement to take over the Brazil's national”. Which justifies, according to the newspaper, the fact that Bayer Leverkusen started negotiations with Erik Ten Hag, dismissed in November from Manchester United, to succeed the Italian on the bench.
Carlo Ancelotti: “Whatever happens, it will be a fantastic good.”
At the meeting with the journalists before the match with Celta Vigo, Carlo Ancelotti commented, in turn: “I do not know what will happen, but whatever happens, it will be a fantastic good.
Brazil? “I have a lot of affection for my team, my players and my fans, as I have a deep respect for Brazil. I will talk about my future on May 25 and not before.
