Carlo Ancelotti's Situation at Real Madrid Is Stalled | Real Madrid Confidencial FIRST TEAM How Much Money Does Ancelotti Demand to Leave Real Madrid by Terminating His ContractThe Italian coach's future is increasingly confusing30/04/2025 12:25:00h by Enrique Sanz Real Madrid Is Experiencing an Intense Drama Regarding Carlo Ancelotti's Future It seems clear that the Reggiolo coach will not continue leading the first team for the next season given that Xabi Alonso's succession is very close But the Italian coach's future has undergone a change as unforeseen as it is complicated Everything seemed aligned for the transalpine strategist to become the new coach of Brazil under the sole condition visibly upset by those negotiations according to some sources Carlo Ancelotti could only join the Canarinha  in August something the South American board doesn't approve Carlo Ancelotti and Florentino Pérez After the Fifteenth | Real Madrid ConfidencialOne of the reasons why Carlo Ancelotti has not been able to confirm his signing as the new coach of Brazil an operation in which only the signature was missing The merengue coach has a bond with Real Madrid until the summer of 2026 which required the CBF to pay a release clause: Carlo Ancelotti asked to be allowed to leave they have repeatedly refused to accept that request from the still Real Madrid coach In case of being dismissed before finishing his contractual bond with the white club the Reggiolo coach would have requested about four million euros as compensation have opposed the payment of that amount of money to release the transalpine coach Especially because they counted on the Reggiolo coach 'forgiving' the remaining year of contract with Real Madrid to leave for Brazil as quickly as possible Nothing could be further from the truth: Carlo Ancelotti keeps his compensation request and Real Madrid doesn't change its antagonistic stance regarding that tense economic debate The thinking of the leaders led by Florentino Pérez is supported by the reaction of other coaches like Zinédine Zidane It was the French coach who left Real Madrid 'forgiving' the remaining money of his contract to expedite his departure as the merengue entity's coach Carlo Ancelotti and Florentino Pérez at Santiago Bernabéu | Real Madrid ConfidencialAlthough that circumstance has prevented his signing for Brazil Everything indicates that he will do so more emphatically especially now that he has lost the opportunity to lead the verdeamarelo team during the 2026 United States World Cup Those four million euros have put both Real Madrid and the Reggiolo coach in check Especially because negotiations with Xabi Alonso to become the new Madrid coach are advancing much faster than desired The Spanish coach has even reportedly informed Bayer Leverkusen's players that he would leave the werkself discipline this very summer Florentino Pérez and Carlo Ancelotti, Face to Face Once Again This Season | Real Madrid

Madrid ConfidencialBecause in that meeting Carlo Ancelotti has also prepared his own news: he has reportedly accepted Brazil's proposals to become their new coach This exchange of updates between Real Madrid's top executive and the current first-team coach are necessary words given the direction the situation has taken The defeat in the Copa del Rey final has led to multiple speculations about the future of the Reggiolo coach doubts that have been clarified in recent hours The information published by several media outlets outside our country as well as through journalists like Fabrizio Romano Everything indicates that the end of Carlo Ancelotti's second stint as Real Madrid's coach will be solved in a "gentlemen's agreement" This mutual agreement to which the transalpine strategist and the Madrid entity would subscribe would mean the settlement of Carlo Ancelotti's salary for the 25/26 season It would also leave room for both parties in that face-to-face summit to shape their future Not only would the transalpine coach have the green light and no impediment to The club executives would also strive to close negotiations with Xabi Alonso who would be about to confirm his signing with the club Carlo Ancelotti and Florentino Pérez at Santiago Bernabéu | Real Madrid ConfidencialWith that summit to take place in the coming hours Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti would exchange positions to solve a truly long-lasting saga The irregular sports results left by the first team in addition to some "details" and the wear and tear suffered by the Italian coach himself have reportedly been

defeat in the Copa del Rey final the offices in Valdebebas still haven't made a decision about Ancelotti's future is still the coach of the first merengue team.. but the information coming in this regard offers a different version In addition to the alleged meeting between the Italian strategist and an envoy sent by the CBF to issue an ultimatum to Carlo Ancelotti himself several media outlets are hinting at a surprise a television channel that warns: the transalpine coach would cease to be the Madrid coach next week Carlo Ancelotti giving instructions during the Copa del Rey final | Real Madrid ConfidencialAccording to the information sources handled by that sports channel Carlo Ancelotti "is very close" to becoming the new coach of Brazil all the rumors regarding the hiring of Jorge Jesús from Saudi Arabia would have fallen flat.. placing the still white coach back at the forefront of the 'race' to lead the Canarinha in addition to surprising with this latest news about Carlo Ancelotti's future they point out that the talks have been paused for the rest of this April This prestigious outlet recalls that the contacts between Brazil and Carlo Ancelotti will resume in May facilitating his departure from the local bench at Santiago Bernabéu during next week The way the Copa del Rey final was lost against FC Barcelona didn't predict such a sudden change of coach But the meeting of the Reggiolo coach with an envoy from the South American team as well as this information published by Sky Sports accelerates a saga that has lasted two years It was in January 2023 when the CBF leaders truly became interested in Carlo Ancelotti but the Reggiolo coach assured that he wanted to stay at Real Madrid would have changed radically following the defeat in the match played at La Cartuja Carlo Ancelotti in Ciudad Real Madrid this season | Real Madrid ConfidencialIt would also leave Real Madrid in a complicated context the white leaders would have to look toward an interim coach to lead and train the team The doubt lies in the time margins of that interim period What seemed like a calm resolution of the coaching saga at Real Madrid would have turned into a race against time Sky Sports points out that this is Carlo Ancelotti's last week with the white team preparing to embark on a new stage as Brazil's coach starting in May Carlo Ancelotti Ends the Goalkeeper Debate for the Copa del Rey Final | Real Madrid Confidencial FIRST TEAM Ancelotti Has Already Chosen Goalkeeper for Copa del Rey Final There's a SurpriseThe decision of the Reggiolo coach is completely irreversible23/04/2025 15:10:00h by Enrique Sanz One of the major doubts Real Madrid has ahead of the Copa del Rey final is the goalkeeping position faces the competition of two goalkeepers to be part of the line-up in the Clásico at La Cartuja next Saturday Both Thibaut Courtois and Andriy Lunin have made enough merits to occupy that spot only one of these two European goalkeepers is chosen by Carlo Ancelotti According to the information published by "Relevo" the Reggiolo coach has already decided that Thibaut Courtois will be the starting goalkeeper against FC Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final This decision is truly surprising given what has happened this season Thibaut Courtois during a match with Real Madrid this season | Real Madrid ConfidencialEspecially becausethe Italian strategist seemed to have reserved all the matches of the so-called 'knockout tournament' for Andriy Lunin would have been broken by the injury recently suffered by the Ukrainian goalkeeper in the calf right after the second leg against Real Sociedad That Copa del Rey match at Santiago Bernabéu would be his last participation this season Journalist "Rodra" makes it clear that Thibaut Courtois will take charge of defending the goal against FC Barcelona at the Seville stadium of La Cartuja on April 26 Carlo Ancelotti's decision is irreversible and repeats a pattern that already occurred last season only in a completely different competition Because Andriy Lunin is one of the heroes of winning the Fifteenth the Ukrainian '13' took charge of the Madrid goal in the top continental competition after winning the debate against Kepa especially in that penalty shootout against Manchester City established him as a better goalkeeper than many expected The euphoria surrounding Andriy Lunin made it seem he would play the Wembley final against Borussia Dortmund but Thibaut Courtois recovered in time to play that match.. and Lunin had to settle for watching the final from the Madrid bench in London The injury he has now experienced in the calf is the 'perfect excuse' for Carlo Ancelotti Andriy Lunin in a match with Real Madrid this season | Real Madrid ConfidencialThe Reggiolo coach seems to trust Thibaut Courtois blindly While it is true that he left the question open in his last press conference assuring that all three first-team goalkeepers had chances.. this information from "Relevo" definitively ends the debate with three days left for the Copa del Rey final Real Madrid solves one of the last pending questions for a match of crucial importance in more than one sense

ahead of the upcoming summer markets Besides the reconstruction of a squad severely affected by injuries in the defensive area the future of the home bench at Santiago Bernabéu is also a matter of consideration Carlo Ancelotti's future has been heavily debated recently due to the irregular performance of his players increasing the debate about his possible dismissal and successor they don't hesitate to reiterate their full support for the Reggiolo coach as long as he remains the coach of the first team they haven't postponed the search for the 'heir' of the most successful coach in the club's history focusing on Xabi Alonso as the ideal coach for that role.  Carlo Ancelotti during the Spanish Super Cup final | EFEThe future of Carlo Ancelotti after his second stint at the helm of the Madrid team raises many doubts The Italian strategist has already hinted that coaching in Saudi Arabia was an option but the possibility of taking charge of the Brazilian national team has returned with much more strength The information published by "Relevo" reveals that Ronaldo Nazário would be trying to reach the presidency of the CBF If the former '11' of Madrid were to take that position O Fenômeno would want to have the services of the Reggiolo coach This decision would become effective in 2026 the same year the Italian strategist's contract with the entity presided over by Florentino Pérez ends The generational change on Real Madrid's bench wouldn't pose any problem for that operation Carlo Ancelotti remains the coach of Real Madrid The Reggiolo coach has a lot of work ahead: four titles are still in contention this season His competitive aspirations include trying to win the first treble in the history of the white squad as well as becoming the champion of the FIFA Club World Cup It's not the first time that the name of the current Real Madrid coach has been linked with a possible position in the Brazilian national team to several rumors placing him in the verdeamarelo team during that summer After much speculation during the early months of 2023 the Madrid coach himself definitively dismissed that move in a press conference Carlo Ancelotti and Florentino Pérez at Santiago Bernabéu | Real Madrid ConfidencialBut the interest in seeing him at the helm of the Brazilian national team has not waned who would be waiting to access the presidency of the CBF to try to convince the Reggiolo coach his departure in that direction would occur when his bond with Real Madrid ends the conditio sine qua non that the coach himself set a long time ago As long as he remains 'tied' to Real Madrid the Italian strategist will not hesitate to stay on the home bench at Santiago Bernabéu as long as necessary He expressed this when Florentino Pérez was re-elected as president of the club assuring that he had no problem "staying four more years" if the white leader deemed it appropriate The CBF Sets a Clear Time Limit for Hiring Carlo Ancelotti |

Project01/04/2025 15:50:00h by Enrique Sanz Rumors Placing Carlo Ancelotti as Brazil's Coach Have Reappeared After Two Years there was speculation about this possibility given the irregular performance of the Reggiolo coach's players according to reports published by multiple sports media to have the Italian coach's soccer services as soon as possible The dismissal of Tite as the verdeamarelo coach has brought a period of unstable performance that neither Fernando Diniz nor Dorival Júnior have been able to solve since the 2022 Qatar World Cup Carlo Ancelotti during a Real Madrid match this season | Real Madrid ConfidencialEduardo Inda has pointed out in the latest episode of 'El Chiringuito de Jugones' that the Brazilian Federation won't wait indefinitely for the coach's decision "I'm told that the CBF has asked Ancelotti to state whether he's going to Brazil before the Champions League final" The director of 'OKDiario' confirms that "they give him a two-month margin" to decide if he truly wants to be the next coach of the Canarinha The information handled by the veteran journalist highlights that "the top management is upset with the coach because they say he has lost control of the team" this season they don't hide their discontent with some decisions made by the Reggiolo coach The clearest example would be a Luka Modric who "plays more minutes than he should" The CBF Puts More Pressure on a Carlo Ancelotti who would have denied any link with the South American Federation in his latest press conferences The Real Madrid coach recalls his desire to continue with the merengue squad beyond his current contract which definitively ends in the summer of 2026 after his renewal both Ancelotti himself and the merengue bosses would have arguments to break that link before the agreed timeframe Mario Cortegana has cited up to four reasons why Carlo Ancelotti could leave the local bench at Santiago Bernabéu this very summer it seems unlikelythat from the Valdebebas offices they will allow the Italian coach to continue if he doesn't achieve major titles like LaLiga or the Champions League in the season Carlo Ancelotti in Ciudad Real Madrid this season | Real Madrid ConfidencialThis Dilemma Leaves Even More Room for Debates About the Immediate Future of a Carlo Ancelotti who has already received the CBF ultimatum according to Eduardo

the classic and the Champions LeagueReggiolo's mister might have changed his mind in just a few hours03/02/2025 10:55:00h by Enrique Sanz One of the worst pieces of news Real Madrid could receive in the coming weeks is the injury absence of Antonio Rüdiger The German footballer has played almost 2,900 minutes at an excellent pace leaving "an injury in the right leg's hamstring" the situation Carlo Ancelotti is in right now is really complicated Because not only has he lost one of the players who forms the backbone of his starting eleven but the options he has to replace him are and have been debated The first player the Reggiolo coach could use for that purpose is a David Alaba just coming off a serious and long injury While it's true that the Austrian '4' has left a good impression in recent matches it seems evident to the coaches that he is still far from facing intense matches Aurélien Tchouaméni in a match with Real Madrid | Real Madrid ConfidencialThat's why Aurélien Tchouaméni seems destined once again to return as a central defender The French '14' received a lot of criticism and a loud booing from Santiago Bernabéu for his discreet performance in that position an idea with which the white fans also don't agree They booed the Reggiolo coach upon the club's return to the merengue coliseum after the defeat in the Spanish Super Cup final These warnings would have fallen on deaf ears judging by the latest tactical arrangements of the Italian strategist Carlo Ancelotti insists on placing Aurélien Tchouaméni as a central defender even with other players like Raúl Asencio or Jesús Vallejo Knowing now that he doesn't have Antonio Rüdiger for three very important matches in the season the Reggiolo coach might have already changed the defense for the upcoming commitments still wouldn't have enough strength to definitively regain his position as a key starter against Atlético de Madrid or Manchester City That's why the player chosen to replace the German '22' is none other than Raúl Asencio: the defender from La Fábrica has been waiting for another opportunity for some time the Real Madrid coach would have decided to place him as a starter this digital newspaper warns that Carlo Ancelotti is considering placing a central duo composed of Asencio himself and Aurélien Tchouaméni for the upcoming matches Raúl Asencio in a training session with the first team | Real Madrid ConfidencialThe great test of fire could come on Wednesday although it doesn't leave much room for 'experimenting,' is the only match before the Madrid classic and the round of 16 Raúl Asencio has another opportunity ahead to perform at his best and further complicate his coach's decisions Carlo Ancelotti's credit in managing the central defenders has been steadily declining since the season started Everything points to the Italian coach not changing his initial plans.. Carlo Ancelotti prepares his starting eleven for the return leg of the Champions League round of 16 | Real Madrid Confidencial FIRST TEAM Ancelotti's Big Surprise in Atlético-Real Madrid Champions League Match Simeone Doesn't Expect ItReggiolo's mister could soon confirm this important tactical decision11/03/2025 13:00:00h by Enrique Sanz Real Madrid Moves Forward in Preparing for the Match Against Atlético de Madrid The second leg of the Champions League round of 16 to be played at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano has left many areas of analysis at the sports level The coaching staff led by Carlo Ancelotti is considering the best possible competitive options Especially taking into account the nature of the knockout stage and the aggregate score inherited from the clash at Santiago Bernabéu The Reggiolo coach also recovers one of his most important footballers for this match a Jude Bellingham who is expected to be a key starter against Atlético de Madrid on Wednesday Carlo Ancelotti gestures on the sidelines of Benito Villamarín | Real Madrid ConfidencialPrecisely the midfield is the big question mark that arises in the starting eleven among the Madrid coaching staff The debates around the composition of the defense and the forward line have been solved over time opening a possible area of doubt in the goalkeeping position The discomfort that Thibaut Courtois has expressed in his right patellar tendon adds possibilities for the starting position of an in-form and ready Andriy Lunin for this competitive challenge the composition of the engine room offers multiple alternatives to Real Madrid's coaching staff But the option chosen by the Reggiolo coach would involve Tchouaméni and Brahim Díaz: the Moroccan '21' was already a protagonist during the pre-match Diego Pablo Simeone's words in the press conference before the match at Santiago Bernabéu marked the beginning of a striking controversy 'Cholo' Simeone thought that Carlo Ancelotti wouldn't start with the Málaga attacking midfielder due to Jude Bellingham's absence something that considerably upset the Madrid midfielder Hence his celebration right after scoring the second goal: "talk now Carlo Ancelotti considers that Brahim Díaz played an excellent match at Santiago Bernabéu That's why he would have decided to bet on his inclusion in the starting eleven setting aside the defensive security that would come from having a double pivot formed by Tchouaméni and Camavinga Carlo Ancelotti understands that Brahim Díaz's organizational and offensive virtues would be essential to overcoming Atlético's resistance and advancing to the Champions League quarterfinals Brahim Díaz celebrates his goal against Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League | Real Madrid ConfidencialThis starting position for Brahim Díaz would significantly change his role in Santiago Bernabéu locker room The former AC Milan footballer has been so far Carlo Ancelotti's 'twelfth man' But his good performance warrants a more or less fixed starting position on big occasions that the Reggiolo coach would be about to grant him Not only because of his controversy with Diego Pablo Simeone but because his performance will determine his place in the Madrid team for the upcoming sports seasons A good performance could open certain debates in the ideal configuration of Carlo Ancelotti's gala team starting from the 25/26 season Real Madrid Is Still Looking for Carlo Ancelotti's Successor | Real Madrid Confidencial FIRST TEAM Neither Xabi Alonso nor Mourinho: Real Madrid Tempts Another Top Coach for AncelottiThe 'Heir' of the Mister from Reggiolo Continues to Generate Many Doubts30/03/2025 11:40:00h by Enrique Sanz One of the sagas that Real Madrid seems obliged to solve for the upcoming seasons is installed on the home bench at Santiago Bernabéu Because Carlo Ancelotti's contract is approaching its final year.. and the position in which the Reggiolo coach finds himself is not exactly very stable The criticisms of the poor play that the first team has shown this season have made many place the Italian strategist far from Real Madrid for the next season they reiterate their commitment and trust in Ancelotti himself but they do not hide that they are already looking for his successor in this very important role Carlo Ancelotti closely follows a Real Madrid match | Real Madrid ConfidencialIn this context the best positioned so far to take that position was Xabi Alonso The Bayer Leverkusen coach also ends his contract in the summer of 2026 which would enable his arrival as a free agent in the Spanish capital.. and a direct transition with Carlo Ancelotti himself at the helm of the Madrid first team But according to 'TBR Football' information those carefully orchestrated plans by the white leadership could be at risk This English website reveals that Real Madrid might have approached one of the most successful coaches of recent decades 'TBR Football' points to Jürgen Klopp as another target for Real Madrid in the bench dilemma and the succession of Carlo Ancelotti The English page indicates that the Madrid bosses would be discussing that possibility given that the incorporation of Xabi Alonso is not proving to be as easy as it seemed It is not the first time that Real Madrid has shown interest in Jürgen Klopp The German coach has forged a successful career in the European soccer elite leading clubs like Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool That's why Real Madrid would want to have his name as another alternative in the succession of Carlo Ancelotti on the home bench at Santiago Bernabéu this very summer Jürgen Klopp during a match with Liverpool | Real Madrid ConfidencialJürgen Klopp has been coming in and out of the white team's list of potential candidates His first thorough arrival occurred in the summer of 2018 when Zinédine Zidane decided to leave the first team after two and a half years of relentless and fast-paced winning to fill that vacancy caused by his former assistant coach The second stage of the Reggiolo coach at the helm of Real Madrid is slowly coming to an end.. they still are not clear who should succeed him in the near future The anticipated testimony of Carlo Ancelotti before the match against Rayo Vallecano has left no one indifferent The Real Madrid coach appeared before the media at Ciudad Real Madrid to give several insights before the clash against 'La Franja' at Santiago Bernabéu One of the most discussed topics is about a key footballer for the Reggiolo coach: Fede Valverde Because the Italian strategist has turned the current '8' of Real Madrid into an indispensable player in his tactical schemes Regardless of whether he plays as a midfielder or as a full-back Fede Valverde always has a place in Real Madrid's starting elevens under Carlo Ancelotti's command That's why many are now wondering what his usual position will be Carlo Ancelotti during a Real Madrid match this season | Real Madrid ConfidencialCarlo Ancelotti points out that the Uruguayan player "is the best full-back in the world and is the best midfielder in the world" the merengue coach confesses that "I don't know" where to definitively place a footballer capable of performing reliably in practically any position on the right side understands that "his career is in the midfield" This decision is due to several factors both related and unrelated to the '8' of the first white team It has become more than evident that Real Madrid loses many advantages by placing Fede Valverde as a right-back the possible arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold as a free agent next summer would definitively solve the right-back dilemma experienced this season The uncertainty in that position of the defense is due to Dani Carvajal's injury and the poor performance of Lucas Vázquez in the most important matches of this season the coaching staff is calm about the physical condition of the Uruguayan midfielder available after just making it against Atlético He's in good condition and obviously can play" but there are many doubts about his presence against Rayo Vallecano Carlo Ancelotti gives instructions during a Real Madrid match | Real Madrid ConfidencialÍñigo Pérez's pupils "are doing very well They're going to demand a lot from us and we have to be ready" This is how the merengue coach describes a match that seems "vital" for the competitive prospects of the first team in the current league campaign Today is Florentino Pérez's birthday: "what he wants is the good of the team and he doesn't ask me for anything special "Tomorrow we can give him something small.. it will be something bigger at the end of the season" the Reggiolo coach concludes about this special date Real Madrid is rushing the procedures and preparation for the LaLiga match against Rayo Vallecano this very afternoon at Santiago Bernabéu Carlo Ancelotti's pupils have a very complicated match because the leadership of the top national competition is at stake a position from which they are two points away the Reggiolo coach will want to count on his best players for a key match in the course of the season.. without forgetting the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Atlético de Madrid The visit to the Riyadh Air Metropolitano is still pending another high-level clash where the permanence in the Champions League is at stake Antonio Rüdiger wearing the Real Madrid jersey | Real Madrid ConfidencialAccording to the competitive pace of the current season Carlo Ancelotti has already presented the squad list for the match against Rayo Vallecano The players drafted for the clash at Santiago Bernabéu fit into the planned schemes with the exception of two absences as striking as they are certainly alarming for the white supporters The first of these absences would be more than justified: Antonio Rüdiger The German center-back has been in the news in recent hours due to a flu process that affected him on the eve of this clash against "La Franja," making him train alone Considering that next Wednesday the outcome of the Champions League round of 16 will be played the white technical staff has not wanted to take risks with the Berlin defender The second surprise presented by Real Madrid's squad list for the clash against Rayo Vallecano is Thibaut Courtois The Belgian "1" has not been in the news or attracted attention due to physical problems or a possible injury but he is ruled out due to overload in the right patellar to avoid problems This decision will give much to talk about at the same time as the first rumors about the contractual situation of the merengue goalkeeper Carlo Ancelotti would have chosen Andriy Lunin as the starting goalkeeper against Rayo Vallecano The Ukrainian "13" seems to have accepted that his greater load of minutes is in the Copa del Rey Thibaut Courtois waves after a Real Madrid match | Real Madrid ConfidencialAgain the absence of Thibaut Courtois from the squad list against "La Franja" would be related to the match against Atlético de Madrid Carlo Ancelotti wants to have all the starting footballers at their best especially if they have presented any discomfort or physical problems in recent matches.. the Reggiolo coach makes rotations in Real Madrid's goal to test Andriy Lunin The objective is none other than to give rest to the starting goalkeeper and evaluate the role of the Ukrainian goalkeeper as his possible successor between the posts Carlo Ancelotti at press conference

about the possible instability of his future as Real Madrid's coach he also addressed the controversies from the white players' last game The penalty not called by Munuera Montero and Hernández Hernández has caused discontent among Celta's fans and Diego Pablo Simeone's opinion Diego Pablo Simeone at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano | Real Madrid ConfidencialDespite everything "I was told there were episodes like there have been for a hundred years The controversy's debate in the possible penalty on Lunin has stretched to the point where his wife Ancelotti is not oblivious to all these turbulences and wanted to settle the matter decisively "These are things that are sometimes said for show," the Reggiolo coach understands 'Cholo' Simeone's words are due to the critical moment in which the 'fight' for LaLiga is and the existing rivalry between both Spanish capital clubs The transalpine strategist is clear: "I think everyone in soccer is aware of what Madrid represents and has represented in these 125 years of history Everyone in soccer is very clear about it" This assertion in the press room of the Valdebebas Sports City was not the only comment toward his Atlético counterpart Because Carlo Ancelotti ventures with a very harsh challenge: "I suppose Cholo Simeone has thorns that hurt" These "thorns" the Madrid team's coach talks about could be the two Champions League finals lost against Real Madrid in Lisbon 2014 and Milan 2016 occurred with the Reggiolo coach on the white bench The conquest of the long-awaited Tenth more than a decade ago would have left an indelible mark on Simeone.. which would only have worsened after being defeated in penalties against Zinédine Zidane in the Italian city two years later Carlo Ancelotti's reply to Simeone's jabs regarding the Real Madrid-Celta de Vigo could be the last on this controversy he is not very fond of prolonging any type of conversation that distracts from the practice of soccer Carlo Ancelotti

repercussions in the Valdebebas offices Besides the discussion between the white leaders and Ancelotti the Reggiolo coach himself seems to have taken note of the serious mistakes his team made in that game The ideal moment for change is the round of 16 clash against Celta de Vigo The visit of the Galician team to Santiago Bernabéu stadium will be the perfect backdrop to gauge the opinion of Madrid fans about their coach and the most criticized players Especially those who might be on the field.. because the Italian strategist might have thought about changes for his starting eleven Carlo Ancelotti during the Spanish Super Cup final | EFEThe first sign of that modification is the absence of Thibaut Courtois The Belgian '1' is not drafted for the Copa del Rey game: Andriy Lunin will take charge of defending the Madrid goal This is reflected in the estimated starting eleven by the newspaper As which would advance several changes from the Reggiolo coach to his team According to the forecasts of this sports newspaper Ancelotti might have left out three of the most criticized players for the thrashing received against FC Barcelona: Tchouaméni heavily criticized since the beginning of 2025 Despite his appearance in this starting eleven it should not be forgotten that many Madrid fans also point to Vázquez himself as one of the culprits of the debacle in Jeddah The same goes for a Ferland Mendy who wouldn't be part of the line-up against Celta de Vigo: it's the perfect opportunity for Fran García to prove himself to his coach is planned with a double pivot composed of Fede Valverde and Dani Ceballos Trying to combine a defensive midfielder with another to create play the attacking midfield line accumulates a lot of talent. Brahim on the right wing Carlo Ancelotti after collecting the silver medal of the Spanish Super Cup | Real Madrid ConfidencialIn the absence of Rodrygo heavily criticized despite the excellent defensive work he provides according to Carlo

glamorous as expected winner of LaLiga and the Champions League in another historic double predicted excellent records during the current soccer season heightened by the transfer of Kylian Mbappé has slowly faded over the months with the accumulation of poor games against top rivals One of the worst stats achieved by Carlo Ancelotti's players so far this season is undoubtedly in that very important area Carlo Ancelotti smiles on Santiago Bernabéu bench | Real Madrid ConfidencialThe draw signed at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano against Atlético is the only tie in the encounters against elite European soccer teams to date Setting aside the distance with Borussia Dortmund a thrashing that started with a 0-2 at Santiago Bernabéu. The rest of the games have been completely forgettable In addition to the four defeats against these top rivals both within and outside Spanish soccer the image presented has marked a before and after Real Madrid seemed unable to respond to the superioritydemonstrated by their rivals in each of those duels This feeling of helplessness is another blow to Ancelotti's continuity The defeats against those high-profile rivals are another reason not to count on Carlo Ancelotti at the end of the current season While it's true that the Reggiolo coach could still be on the white bench until the summer of 2026 only a total change in just four months would change everything It doesn't seem like the foundations have been laid for this turnaround that the team so desperately needs Especially because the spirits with which they approach key weeks are at rock bottom The harsh defeat in the Spanish Super Cup final is the prelude to a match that could affect the future of the Reggiolo coach at the white club Celta de Vigo visits Bernabéu for the Copa del Rey a match many expect to solve with a solid victory to dispel the "ghosts" of a competitive debacle with a serious expression | Real Madrid ConfidencialThe inability to overcome the great rivals that Madrid has shown so far this season was put to the test last Sunday The situation is once again critical in the Valdebebas offices regarding the continuity of Carlo Ancelotti Rumors of Santiago Solari as interim coach return to the forefront of Madrid's current affairs The Bayer Leverkusen coach seems more established than ever in the werkself team.. although he also ends his contract in the summer of 2026 and is the one called to replace the Reggiolo coach on Santiago Bernabéu bench The next major commitment ahead for Real Madrid is the match against Real Sociedad This match to be played at the Reale Arena allowing them to avoid a tighter situation for the return match at Santiago Bernabéu Access to the La Cartuja final is just over 180 minutes away yet Real Madrid must not be complacent or neglect planning Carlo Ancelotti has made the most of the two preparation sessions for this match making changes to the last starting eleven he deployed on the field of the merengue coliseum Carlo Ancelotti gives instructions during a Real Madrid match | Real Madrid ConfidencialThe Reggiolo coach knows that we are in the most challenging part of the season where the titles Real Madrid is still competing for are ultimately decided he is aware that he must make the most of the excellent depth of the first white team Rotations will be an essential element to ensure the good physical condition of the key starters for other LaLiga and Champions League matches Carlo Ancelotti would have decided to make according to "Relevo," two changes in his starting eleven against Real Sociedad whose two-match suspension applies only in LaLiga the merengue coach would have decided to rest another midfielder: Fede Valverde The benching of the Uruguayan '8' is the logical consequence of his role as a key piece in the tactical scheme The good performance that the Uruguayan all-rounder delivers season after season not only has effects in the engine room His well-known versatility on the right flank has earned him the role of playing as a full-back in the most challenging matches of recent weeks The accumulated wear and tear from playing in that position would be the reason for his full rest against Girona in LaLiga would extend to the Copa del Rey clash against Real Sociedad In addition to the South American midfielder Carlo Ancelotti would have decided to leave one of his 'reliable' players at the back: Thibaut Courtois on the bench Fede Valverde during a match with Real Madrid | RealMadridConfidencialTo replace the Belgian '1' who is once again being crucial this season despite his limited prominence this season remains very high thanks to what happened during the last campaign Carlo Ancelotti has decided to 'reserve' exclusively for him the Copa del Rey matches Beyond those two changes announced by 'Relevo' the Real Madrid coaching staff could propose a starting eleven very similar to the one seen against teams like Manchester City It is an important match in the white competitive calendar and the Reggiolo coach will want to start with the best players on the Basque field Carlo Ancelotti opens up about his position within the club behind closed doors | Real Madrid Confidencial FIRST TEAM Ancelotti's Reply to the Boos and His Possible Dismissal from Real MadridReggiolo's coach spoke to the media at the press conference18/01/2025 13:00:00h by Enrique Sanz Carlo Ancelotti's press conference before the game against Las Palmas has been one of the most anticipated moments for Real Madrid Not only because of the background stemming from the debacle in Jeddah but also due to the reaction of the coach to the renewed debate about his continuity on the bench the relationship between the Reggiolo coach and the club's board could have been compromised by the poor results achieved this season because the harmony that the president and the Madrid coach have demonstrated on more than one occasion would remain according to his words Florentino Pérez and Carlo Ancelotti on a Real Madrid trip | Real Madrid ConfidencialThe Italian strategist has made it clear that "I have a very good relationship with Florentino I don't have any problem." Besides reinforcing the bond that led him to be the white coach for the second time he reveals something that many sensed even after the poor image in several games "I feel supported at all times and it will be like this until my last day here I don't have any problem," clarifies the Madrid coach Ancelotti claims to have the express confidence of the Madrid leadership support that would have been lightened after the defeat in the final held in Jeddah trying to do our best as always." This powerful message is a clear warning to those who rule out Madrid from the 'fight' for the Champions or LaLiga due to the feelings within the team The complicated context in which the transalpine strategist finds himself has taken its toll on more than one occasion he understands that being the coach of Madrid brings certain negative aspects such as constant questioning against which he would have raised his voice on more than one occasion "It doesn't bother me at all to be questioned because it's part of my job," confesses the Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti after collecting the silver medal of the Spanish Super Cup | Real Madrid ConfidencialBecause Carlo Ancelotti has shown he knows how to withstand criticism as long as it is confined to the purely soccering realm The competitive irregularity that Real Madrid is registering this season is a headache that still has no visible solution is already working to find the key and recover the best version of his players This determination is carried out under the watchful eye of the executives led by Florentino who are closely monitoring the process and made several decisions The first of these is to keep Santiago Solari as interim coach if the Reggiolo coach is dismissed the Italian coach will hold on until the end of his contract and leave the bench free for the 'favorite' of the white leadership: Xabi Alonso Carlo Ancelotti Surprises with His Words About Xabi Alonso | Real Madrid Confidencial FIRST TEAM Ancelotti's Unexpected Mention of Xabi Alonso in Press Conference: 'The Photo...'The Reggiolo Coach Surprises in the Press Conference Before the Clash Against Real Sociedad31/03/2025 13:00:00h by Enrique Sanz Carlo Ancelotti has appeared before the media ahead of the match between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad The white club has the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals ahead as the last match before the final at La Cartuja thanks to Endrick's goal at the Reale Arena is a significant development for this clash to be played at Santiago Bernabéu But the press conference not only addressed various topics related to current merengue affairs and that important Copa del Rey match Because the latest public appearance of the Reggiolo coach has sparked dozens of comments: after all he was focused on the Madrid classic played by Juvenil A last Sunday Carlo Ancelotti during a Real Madrid match this season | Real Madrid ConfidencialIn addition to Jesús Fortea whose great aspiration is to reach the first team as soon as possible who provided an excellent backheel assist for Liberto Navascues to score the winning goal against the Juvenil colchonero The question from TNT Sports Brasil prompted the spontaneous mention of a name that is not lost sight of for the future of the entity presided over by Florentino Pérez points out that "he made the difference" in that Madrid classic between Juveniles But he states that "I don't know him well" both personally and in terms of soccer given the enormous difference in competitive cycles between the forward and the coach the only memory Carlo Ancelotti has of Enzo Alves "I have very good memories of him in the 2014 final when I took a photo with Marcelo's son and Xabi Alonso's son" The reappearance of Xabi Alonso is no coincidence While it is true that the offspring of the former defensive midfielder was present at the celebrations of La Décima the name of the now Bayer Leverkusen coach is very current he would be the main choice by the merengue bosses to replace the Italian strategist at the end of his tenure on the local bench at Santiago Bernabéu Xabi Alonso during a match with Bayer Leverkusen this season | Real Madrid ConfidencialIn this context the debate around the succession of Carlo Ancelotti by Xabi Alonso is far from being definitively concluded The spontaneous mention of the former merengue player by the Reggiolo coach provides another piece of information that will lead to dozens of rumors about this change in position Carlo Ancelotti enjoys the full confidence and support of the board led by Florentino Pérez Both the Italian strategist himself and Real Madrid put an end to the saga of his possible departure toward the position of Brazil's national team coach Neither party reveals having received contacts from a CBF that still perceives him as a favorite and would have taken the first step by dismissing Dorival Júnior the 'favorite' to occupy that position right now is Jorge Jesús Carlo Ancelotti opens up to Endrick about his future | Real Madrid Confidencial FIRST TEAM Ancelotti's Promise to Endrick Radical Change at Christmas: I Give You My Word...The Reggiolo coach has contacted the Madrid "16" to share an important update29/12/2024 14:55:00h by Enrique Sanz Real Madrid is still analyzing what might happen during the second half of the current season. And the forecasts there are some doubts about what awaits certain players: especially young talents like Arda Güler or Endrick whose amount of minutes isn't ideal.  At least in the opinion of the board led by Florentino Pérez Because Carlo Ancelotti doesn't see any problem with the repeated benchings of an Endrick who continues to work silently the Reggiolo coach insists on his idea of "patience" Endrick during a match with Real Madrid | Real Madrid ConfidencialEveryone in the coaching staff points out that his moment will come eyebrows are starting to raise because four months have passed and the young '16' has barely accumulated 200 minutes in his appearances The goal is to access more playing time regularly and consistently That's why he would be taking advantage of the Christmas break to continue working in the gym looking for multiple ways to improve in his training and advance to surprise Ancelotti Proving himself to the Reggiolo coach is not easy seems to have caught the attention of Real Madrid's coach The Italian strategist would have contacted Endrick to deliver a promise: "I give you my word that you'll have more minutes if you return in shape after the holidays" This notice to the Carioca forward is more important than it seems Especially because it offers him a tangible goal and a more achievable short-term target The demanding competitive schedule ahead for Real Madrid will make rotations increase.. a moment that Endrick could seize to make a difference and climb the ranks in Madrid's rotation scheme Endrick celebrates a goal with Real Madrid | Real Madrid ConfidencialThis complicated situation in which the Brazilian player finds himself has sparked all kinds of rumors about his future It has also increased the interest of several elite European soccer teams interested in his loan for the winter market of 2025 Not only because Endrick is essential for the club's competitive future Also because his incorporation has been a very risky bet That's why from the Valdebebas offices they constantly urge Carlo Ancelotti to give one of the world's great soccer promises more regular playing time Real Madrid is just one day away from the Madrid classic a key match in the fight for the LaLiga leadership The one-point difference between the white club and Atlético de Madrid makes the clash at Santiago Bernabéu clearly a must-win Carlo Ancelotti has appeared in the press room of Ciudad Real Madrid to answer questions from the media related to the match But he was greatly surprised when one of the first questions was related to the great and recent refereeing controversy in a conference | Real Madrid ConfidencialThe letter published by Real Madrid last Monday resulting among other things from the frustration over the disastrous refereeing at RCDE Stadium The statements against that supposed measure of "pressure" toward the refereeing group have come from all sides Javier Tebas's words about Real Madrid TV and the white club The Reggiolo coach makes it clear that "Tebas can rest assured because no one here has lost their mind I think what has happened these days is simply asking for an explanation of what has happened" is "to try to improve things and change a system with which Because we are not happy in one sense and I think everyone else is not happy because they think it is a system that favors Real Madrid" Those haven't been the only statements from the merengue coach regarding this enduring controversy Carlo Ancelotti reveals that "when Real Madrid wants to change this system but I have already said: I would like to talk about soccer and tomorrow's match" the Madrid coach makes a final remark on this controversial issue:  "but I repeat Carlos Romero's tackle from behind on Kylian Mbappé at RCDE Stadium | Didac AguirreThis message to the president of LaLiga after his latest statements is The entity presided over by Florentino Pérez advocates for the total regeneration of the group and the refereeing system that proposal generates an unusual resistance there are always clubs that criticize the referees' performance These protests are not always related to Real Madrid something that would give more reasons to join the white initiative to change the current state of affairs that hypothetical

Rey final has triggered a series of changes in the Merengue entity that would be centered on several protagonists One of the most notable is Carlo Ancelotti whose future has changed radically in just a day and a half The Reggiolo coach seemed to be practically out of the team in case of a defeat at La Cartuja but the impressions offered by the team from the second half changed it most reporters

Carlo Ancelotti will not continue leading the team next season That decision would have come since last Saturday but it has been solidifying over the following days.. that the agreement between Carlo Ancelotti and Brazil is practically closed The Canarinha seems the most logical destination for a coach who has been on the CBF's list for two years: the first approach came in January 2023 most footballers already know that Carlo Ancelotti will not continue as Real Madrid's coach next season The defeat in the Copa del Rey final has precipitated a change that seemed necessary given what happened the wear and tear recorded by the transalpine strategist would have led him to distance himself from the possibility of exhausting his contract The reality is that Real Madrid is already preparing a legendary farewell for Carlo Ancelotti consistent with the legacy he leaves in the entity Real Madrid players remain aware of what is happening with the future of their current coach since

national team as a future coach These rumors are not new in the Valdebebas offices since the CBF launched a striking "campaign" to secure the football services of the Reggiolo coach in 2023 Given the poor situation of the team at those moments of the 22/23 season everything seemed prepared for the Italian coach's departure Carlo Ancelotti during a Real Madrid match this season | Real Madrid

warns about the outcome of the current league season a result that could irreversibly change the future of both Xabi Alonso and Carlo Ancelotti according to his information Josep Pedrerol points out that Carlo Ancelotti could continue for one more season if the white club does what seems impossible right now: win LaLiga If the white footballers are able to overcome the four-point difference with FC Barcelona in the last four matches the Reggiolo coach could extend his current contract The last renewal of Carlo Ancelotti with Real Madrid set the limit of his second stage in summer 2026 That's why an agreement on his severance has not been reached thus reducing his options to take on other jobs like the Canarinha or Saudi Arabia But those alternatives would take a back seat according to the

with the preparation for the clash against Real Betis on the competitive horizon after the victory in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals continue to fight for the LaLiga leadership since the distance from the other two title contenders is minimal: they are tied on points with FC Barcelona This extremely tight situation makes the Reggiolo coach wish to have the best footballers he has in Santiago Bernabéu locker room Dani Ceballos leaves injured from Reale Arena | Real Madrid ConfidencialOne of the most untimely injuries is The Utrera-born '19' managed to take charge of play creation by positioning himself at the base of the tactical scheme The Italian strategist seemed to have found in the Sevillian midfielder the replacement for Toni Kroos that he had missed so much since the start of the current season The two months without Dani Ceballos are a major problem that must be solved by changing the available pieces One of the players who aspired to be essential in that reorganization of the engine room has missed the last training session held at Ciudad Real Madrid The fact that Fede Valverde is not present in a preparatory session for a match of this importance in the season doesn't leave a good feeling among Madrid fans The information published by Jorge Picón warns that "Fede Valverde's situation is more serious than expected" since the footballer was left out of Carlo Ancelotti's plans for the duel at the Reale Arena in the Copa del Rey semifinals The same will happen in this match against Real Betis where Real Madrid is playing for the chance to win LaLiga The physical condition of the Uruguayan '8' While it's true that he played infiltrated against Manchester City in the Champions League Carlo Ancelotti decided to give him a rest knowing that

do everything possible to ensure that the midfielder recovers in time and returns at the most opportune moment of this campaign FDA has alerted medical device manufacturers to sterility issues and record falsification at two Steril Milano ethylene oxide sterilization facilities dating back to 2016 Steril Milano closed its facilities in Monza and Reggiolo and began actions to improve quality control at a third Italian site in March The notified body suspended ISO certification at all three facilities around the same time The Steril Milano situation is a little different. Starting in 2016, the year EPA classed ethylene oxide as a carcinogen, the company is accused by FDA of falsifying graphs and parameters of sterilization certificates for a variety of products regulated by the agency. In a statement last month the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products said the Italian authorities investigating Steril Milano suspect it of "having deliberately falsified process records and validation documentation."  FDA issued an import alert barring tens of medical devices sterilized at Steril Milano's facilities in Monza and Reggiolo from entering the U.S The agency followed up on Wednesday with a letter asking medical device manufacturers to determine if any of their products now in distribution were processed at the Monza or Reggiolo sites Manufacturers with products sterilized at the facilities are to quarantine any affected inventory and contact customers who have already taken receipt of the products FDA wants manufacturers to assess the risks posed by the devices and contact the agency if they learn information related to patient safety higher infection rates or non-sterile products in distribution 10 manufacturers have voluntarily recalled affected devices although the agency believes 97 companies may be affected FDA did not name the affected manufacturers but alerts published by other agencies have disclosed the identities of some companies that worked with Steril Milano BD is recalling products including infusion sets for Alaris pumps from Canada and other markets after finding Steril Milano had "intentionally falsified their routine process records" and is "suspected to have falsified the validation documentation related to the sterilization of BD products." Similarly Medtronic issued a 44-page recall notice covering Covidien DAR airway products affected by "potential deviations from validated parameters for ethylene oxide sterilization" at Steril Milano Get the free daily newsletter read by industry experts The EPA is expected to finalize new regulations in March that would limit ethylene oxide emissions from companies that sterilize medical devices From vulnerable medical devices to a breach that took some of Henry Schein’s systems offline cybersecurity was a key topic for the industry this year The free newsletter covering the top industry headlines Carlo Ancelotti instructs Jude Bellingham before returning to the field | Real Madrid Confidencial FIRST TEAM Ancelotti Made the Decision and Told Bellingham in the Midst of Real Madrid CrisisReggiolo's coach has already informed of his determination for the second half of the season01/01/2025 09:10:00h by Enrique Sanz Real Madrid's returned to training to prepare for the game against Valencia on January 3rd There are only two days left for a game where the future of LaLiga is at stake: the club could start 2025 as the leader of the top national competition it's necessary to secure a victory in one of the most complicated places in Spanish soccer The most important player to achieve that goal is no other than Jude Bellingham: what happened previously has been proof of that trend Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé celebrate a goal | RealMadridConfidencialAfter everything that happened at the beginning of the current season Ancelotti has drastically corrected the positioning of the English attacking midfielder on the field From playing as a second right wing in the Clásico to regaining his natural position near the opponent's area which has influenced the competitive results of the club in December The good continuity achieved during the last 2024 month is due. Among other things to the fact that the "Birmingham's pride" has regained his usual position on the field Bellingham has once again become one of Madrid's best offensive arguments: Ancelotti knows it and doesn't want to change it That's why he's decided to speak directly with the Madrid '5' before the current season's pace resumes to remind him of his decision Carlo Ancelotti solved Jude Bellingham's position: "I'm not going to put you in any position other than near the area" knows it's the best place to position the English player While he can't count as a forward due to all the efforts he makes without the ball it's undeniable that Madrid needs Bellingham in that position The team hasn'ticed Jude Bellingham's return to the attacking midfield Even his placement as a false '9' in recent matches could be very useful for adjusting the rotation scheme in the future Because the demanding competitive pace the white club faces starting January 3 will require maintaining physical endurance until the end of the season That goal can only be met with rotations in which Jude Bellingham himself will also be involved..

him a good player to reinforce the merengue entity's playing ideas other aspects of his performance on the field still don't convince the coaching staff.. and a Carlo Ancelotti who will give him a

clear that the '7' "knows what he has to do on the field because he is a mature person" Vinícius Jr.'s expulsion at Mestalla | Real Madrid ConfidencialMeanwhile the Real Madrid coach confesses to being "happy to have him back" Because despite the debates arising from the performances of players like Rodrygo or Mbappé the coaching staff knows they play better with Vinícius Jr Ancelotti has once again condemned the criticisms of the forward for his behavior toward opponents who often provoke him repeatedly seeking an angry reaction he is ready and can contribute a lot tomorrow" the Madrid coach states ahead of the game against Espanyol These words are not the only ones Carlo Ancelotti has had to leave in a press conference since he returned to Santiago Bernabéu locker room The bond between the Reggiolo coach and the São Gonçalo striker is very special because it was the Italian who 'created' the current version of Vinícius Only in this way can it be explained that Ancelotti remains one of Vinícius' main supporters and defenders  in all the debates the merengue leads 'in exchange' for this defense and everything he has done has the unconditional loyalty of one of the leaders of the whites embrace during a Real Madrid match | Real Madrid ConfidencialThis dynamic has been evident on more than one occasion especially in the celebrations of very important goals The support of Vinícius for Carlo Ancelotti is public and notorious and became a reality when the rumors most pointed to the Italian strategist The close and positive relationship between Vinícius and Carlo Ancelotti is one of the most important duos in the recent history of Real Madrid The white executives would maintain it until the summer of 2026 when the Reggiolo coach's current contract as the person in charge of Santiago Bernabéu's home bench ends the defeat suffered against FC Barcelona in the Spanish Supercopa final This game seems to have left certain lessons for analysis by the coaching staff led by Carlo Ancelotti until the arrival of the game  against Celta de Vigo next Wednesday One of the most criticized players in the game against FC Barcelona was Lucas Vázquez Curtis's '17' is filling in for Dani Carvajal: Leganés's '2' That's why the Galician defender is Carlo Ancelotti's first choice although he doesn't seem to be offering the expected level for the most important games Carlo Ancelotti at press conference in Mestalla | Real Madrid ConfidencialThe solution to that insecurity according to information published by the newspaper MARCA was to place Fede Valverde as a right wing in the games marked in red on the calendar it hasn't happened for two reasons: the first is to demonstrate that the Reggiolo coach trusts Lucas Vázquez himself The second reason is to keep Fede Valverde in the midfield The performance of the Uruguayan '8' is practically impeccable regardless of the position he is placed in but Carlo Ancelotti considers it more valuable to keep Fede Valverde as a midfielder Even the harsh defeat against FC Barcelona wouldn't have changed the Italian strategist's point of view Ancelotti's confidence in his players has led him to keep Lucas Vázquez and Fede Valverde in their natural positions even in the 'big' matches and displays like the thrashing received in the Spanish Super Cup final don't legitimize this tactical decision Fede Valverde's position as one of Carlo Ancelotti's 'utility men' has made him indispensable in the starting eleven in all matches as seen during the match against Deportiva Minera in the Copa del Rey round of sixteen Fede Valverde in a post-match interview | Real Madrid ConfidencialBe that as it may the Uruguayan '8' is willing to play as a right-back in any match The position is one of Real Madrid's weak points after Dani Carvajal's injury which leaves a substitute who doesn't offer the expected level in high-demand matches This move would place Lucas Vázquez on the bench almost permanently especially because extremely complex matches are approaching Failure is not an option in those encounters especially in the last two matches of the Champions League group stage Carlo Ancelotti has received confirmation of this change from Real Madrid's management | Real Madrid Confidencial FIRST TEAM Ancelotti Was Informed in March Real Madrid Will Make the Change Official in WeeksThe Reggiolo manager has already received confirmation of this move from the board of directors11/04/2025 10:55:00h by Enrique Sanz One of the events that has marked the current season at Real Madrid is the serious injury of Dani Carvajal The '2' from Leganés suffered a triple tear in his right knee that leaves him off the field for many months The full-back himself has confessed that his personal goal is to return to sports discipline by May The medical services and physical trainers of the first team work cautiously to fully recover a more than important footballer Carlo Ancelotti's tactical designs have always relied on the Madrid player whose absence has affected Real Madrid much more than it initially seemed Dani Carvajal and Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid City | Real Madrid ConfidencialBecause he has pointed to Lucas Vázquez had to take on the responsibility of being the starting right-back.. with a performance that is far from the desired and demanded standards by several of Real Madrid's entities His departure from the white club as a free agent at least according to what is transpiring in the Valdebebas offices is not to make his renewal effective for the 25/26 campaign has shown that he no longer has the sufficient level to establish himself as a reliable and quality alternative to his injured teammate Real Madrid has also taken steps to replace him The information published by Mario Cortegana indicates that Carlo Ancelotti is already informed of the change planned by Florentino Pérez's board: the signing as a free agent of Trent Alexander-Arnold The incorporation of Liverpool's '66' is one of the most exciting and necessary operations undertaken within the framework of the generational change of the defensive line of the first white team According to the journalist from 'The Athletic' the Reggiolo coach would have knowledge of the arrival of Liverpool's current right-back since March This addition to Santiago Bernabéu locker room would imply the departure of Lucas Vázquez given that he is one of the players pointed out this season Trent Alexander-Arnold in a Champions League match | Real Madrid ConfidencialThe white leadership understands that the presence of Dani Carvajal and Trent Alexander-Arnold would be more than sufficient to keep this side under control While it is true that the trend regarding Lucas Vázquez's continuity is negative and points to his non-renewal That's why Lucas Vázquez has the option to have an excellent end of the season with the white team aiming to change an opinion that would be quite tilted against him.. a move that Carlo Ancelotti has known about since March would be definitive for the renewal possibilities of the Galician '17' Carlo Ancelotti Decides on His Possible Departure to Brazil | Real Madrid Confidencial FIRST TEAM Ancelotti's Unexpected Response to Brazil After Initial Contacts: 'It Will Be...'Joaquim Piera points out what the Italian coach might have replied to Brazil's approaches29/03/2025 10:55:00h by Enrique Sanz After almost two years without hearing rumors about Carlo Ancelotti's future the Reggiolo coach is once again at the forefront of Madridist news Now that the first team is in the most challenging part of the 24/25 season certain rumors about his possible ties with Brazil are resurfacing there has been speculation about the roadmap planned by the transalpine coach for when his contract with Real Madrid ends who completely dismissed all the rumors about his possible departure as coach of the Brazilian national team Carlo Ancelotti closely follows a Real Madrid match | Real Madrid ConfidencialDespite those words from the Madridist coach Joaquim Piera has revealed that the situation at the top of the CBF hasn't changed at all This journalist from SPORT recalls that "the president of the CBF loves Carlo Ancelotti" as the new coach of the senior men's Canarinha a future that the Reggiolo coach would be avoiding Joaquim Piera pointed out on COPE that "this time the contacts will be quick" unlike what happened in the first approach to Carlo Ancelotti they say they've already contacted the Italian coach and he hasn't said no" perhaps leaving the door open when his contract with Real Madrid ends reopen a debate that seemed settled in the press conference held just yesterday at Ciudad Real Madrid Carlo Ancelotti stated that he has a contract with Real Madrid and that It's not the first time Real Madrid has had to 'respond' to the CBF's approaches regarding Carlo Ancelotti the white club warns that they aren't aware of any contacts between their coach and the leaders of the Brazilian Federation information that would contradict what Piera stated on COPE Carlo Ancelotti and Florentino Pérez at Santiago Bernabéu | Real Madrid ConfidencialBe that as it may everything is happening the same way it did at the beginning of 2023 Real Madrid was going through bad sporting dynamics and one of the big debates was the possible dismissal of Carlo Ancelotti as coach The move to Brazil appeared as an alternative that offered a 'gentleman's agreement' between Real Madrid and the Italian strategist himself they fully trust Carlo Ancelotti at the helm of Santiago Bernabéu locker room and will wait for the Reggiolo coach to exhaust his contract dated until 2026 they are already working on making his succession a reality with Xabi Alonso the number one and only candidate to take that position immediately after Fede Valverde Speaks Face to Face with Carlo Ancelotti Before Facing Arsenal | Real Madrid Confidencial FIRST TEAM Fede Valverde was Very Clear with Ancelotti Request Before the Champions LeagueThe Uruguayan midfielder opens up to his coach hours before the Arsenal match08/04/2025 11:40:00h by Enrique Sanz One of the footballers who seems key in the final stretch of the current season for Real Madrid is Fede Valverde heir to the number '8' jersey of the legendary Toni Kroos has become one of Carlo Ancelotti's indispensable players due to his extensive footballing virtues The Reggiolo coach might need those resources once again in the visit to Emirates Stadium a pending conversation between the Madrid coach and the white captain Carlo Ancelotti pointed out to the new '8' that he might need his services as a right-back prompting an unexpected response from the South American midfielder Fede Valverde during a match with Real Madrid | Real Madrid ConfidencialIn response to these requests made by his coach Fede Valverde states that "I would like to help the team it doesn't matter if I play as a right-back or midfielder" as long as he can contribute his skills But that conversation wouldn't have revolved solely around the position he might occupy against Mikel Arteta's pupils at Emirates Stadium According to the information published by 'Rodra' both Carlo Ancelotti and Fede Valverde know that his best position is in the midfield the Uruguayan '8' has always naturally occupied that position But the vicissitudes of the team and the season have forced this relocation that the Reggiolo coach doesn't like either Carlo Ancelotti has once again approached the Uruguayan midfielder with that usual request.. which the Uruguayan footballer has accepted without hesitation because his goal is to help the team no matter where he is positioned on the field With Fede Valverde supposedly positioned as a right-back in the scheme planned for this match against Arsenal Carlo Ancelotti solves one of his great tactical dilemmas for this encounter the Madrid '8' is configured as an essential figure in the course of the current season Fede Valverde celebrates a goal with Real Madrid this season | Real Madrid ConfidencialThis time he would do it from the right-back position a role he is becoming more familiar with.. given the repeated opportunities in which he had to step in to provide a quality replacement for Lucas Vázquez The performance of the Galician '17' this season has been much more discreet than initially expected That's why many consider that the Uruguayan midfielder is the right footballer to take on the responsibility of a key position in the tactical plans made by Carlo Ancelotti will be a new opportunity for Fede Valverde to add stripes as a white legend Carlo Ancelotti seems to have found the key to the best Real Madrid | Real Madrid Confidencial FIRST TEAM Real Madrid's Change that Excites Ancelotti He Has Said It in the Changing RoomReggiolo's coach has carefully studied the performance of the last few games20/12/2024 14:20:00h by Enrique Sanz Real Madrid's victory in the Intercontinental Cup final left the team in good feelings ahead of the last game of the year 2024 Sevilla's visit to Santiago Bernabéu is a key to go into the Christmas break as league leaders: it'll only be possible with a draw between FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid Far from focusing on the commitments of the biggest rivals in Spanish soccer has reached an important conclusion in recent weeks Because the change registered by the white team Carlo Ancelotti during a match with Real Madrid | Real Madrid ConfidencialThe idea revealed by Reggiolo's coach to his men is: "We're scary in attack." With a  more precise and 'lethal' Madrid in the offensive part rival teams may think twice before playing a game of excessive effort Especially because of the possibility of conceding many more goals than they could have scored before the Whites have scored 40% of the goals scored so far Although this statistic shows that they used to have serious tactical problems The 22 goals scored during the month of December are a declaration of intent: Real Madrid is once again dominating attacking soccer This warning to their future rivals could make them change their strategy when facing the Madrid team This change in their mentality is doubly beneficial for the white club Not only because it gives the white club more of an advantage when it comes to dominating the matches Also because it eases the pressure placed on the Real Madrid defense in recent games especially in the most important games to date highlight the loss of one of the club's greatest virtues: defensive solidity Following the famous adage that 'the best defense is a good attack' Ancelotti decided to correct all the errors in the final third of the field in order to change everything Belllingham and Vinícius now means that the Merengues average 2.5 goals per game a sign of the true offensive power that the team always had The brutal changes in dynamics that Real Madrid has seen in December have allowed them to save a situation that seemed impossible At risk of being eliminated in the Champions League league phase and almost ruled out of the league leadership the white club has returned stronger than ever Carlo Ancelotti may have already decided on Kylian Mbappé's starting position | Real Madrid Confidencial FIRST TEAM Ancelotti Has Already Decided if Mbappé Will Play They Reveal on 'El Chiringuito': '99%'Reggiolo's mister makes a decision regarding the French forward12/03/2025 10:55:00h by Enrique Sanz Real Madrid Arrive at the Second Leg of the Round of 16 at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano with Very Few Doubts One of the last-minute changes Carlo Ancelotti might make in his starting eleven is centered around Kylian Mbappé whose physical condition has been a topic of extensive debate it has been suggested that the Madridist '9' might not be ready to start against Atlético de Madrid But the information handled by various media outlets and journalists contradicts those rumors caused by the physical doubts surrounding Kylian Mbappé The blow suffered against Rayo Vallecano has created an interesting saga that has kept Madridists on edge.. and which Edu Aguirre solved during the latest broadcast of "El Chiringuito de Jugones" Kylian Mbappé celebrates during a match at Santiago Bernabéu | Real Madrid ConfidencialThe journalist and panelist always close to Real Madrid in every sense has made it clear that Kylian Mbappé will start against Atlético de Madrid tonight he received a strong blow to the ankle and today he hasn't trained with his teammates" "He only did a little gym work and then went out on the field alone to touch the ball a bit" he reveals about his latest training session at Valdebebas Taking into account what was seen yesterday at Ciudad Real Madrid Edu Aguirre's statement is clear: "99% sure a little less than 24 hours left for that match" so important for everyone at any level of the white club "Tomorrow Mbappé will undergo a final test at Valdebebas" which could be vital for the short-term future of the Bondy striker and tomorrow morning Mbappé will undergo a final test" Despite the medical diagnosis expected for the hours leading up to the 'Euroclassic' of the Champions League round of 16 second leg still pending Edu Aguirre points out that "Carlo Ancelotti's decision 99% is for Kylian Mbappé to start Mbappé will start at the Metropolitano" to go all out for the victory against Atlético de Madrid and secure the quarterfinals spot Kylian Mbappé gets injured in Bergamo | Real Madrid ConfidencialThe journalist from "El Chiringuito de Jugones" warns: "I don't know how he's going to spend the night but Ancelotti is clear that Mbappé will play" against Atlético de Madrid starting in the initial eleven that the Reggiolo coach plans for a match where many things are at stake Because it's not just about securing a spot in the Champions League quarterfinals they see themselves fully capable of achieving the treble they must defeat Diego Pablo Simeone's team Carlo Ancelotti prepares two changes for his starting eleven against Rayo Vallecano | Real Madrid Confidencial FIRST TEAM Ancelotti will give 2 players a rest against Rayo Vallecano he wants them at the Metropolitano.Reggiolo's mister is thinking about the return of the 'euroderbi' against Atlético de Madrid to make his rotations.08/03/2025 13:45:00h by Enrique Sanz Real Madrid Is Focused on the Next Match in Their Schedule Rayo Vallecano arrives at Santiago Bernabéu in a striking battle to settle in European positions while the merengue entity needs to win no matter what to continue aspiring for the leadership The fight for the top position in LaLiga is getting tighter every day and Real Madrid wants to regain lost ground it is essential to secure the three points from this challenging match Not only for the potential in the top national competition but because it could be a moral boost ahead of the Champions League round of 16 second leg influences a good part of the tactical decisions for this Sunday's match Fede Valverde during a match with Real Madrid | Real Madrid ConfidencialOne of the most anticipated Real Madrid's '8' has played everything this season adding the fear of an injury at the worst moment To prevent the Uruguayan midfielder from having to visit Valdebebas's infirmary Carlo Ancelotti will leave him on the bench against Rayo Vallecano This decision makes a lot of sense considering that Jude Bellingham returns to the LaLiga squad after his two-match suspension for the incident at El Sadar The other expected absence in Real Madrid's starting eleven against Rayo Vallecano is Ferland Mendy The French '23' has far exceeded his rough patch this season avoiding an injury that would have been catastrophic for his potential appearances in the final months of the season His evolution has even allowed him to "peek" into the offensive phase much more than the coaching staff expected Given that he is one of the best defensive assets of the first team The French defender will rest to be in top form against Atlético de Madrid and his place will be taken by Fran García The Madrid youth player returned to the first team from Rayo Vallecano during the summer of 2023 Ferland Mendy in a Real Madrid match this season | Real Madrid ConfidencialInitially the Italian strategist didn't have much confidence in the current merengue '20' His greater inclination toward attack left some doubts about his defensive commitment but the Spanish defender has proven himself as a committed footballer and capable of fulfilling his duties The Reggiolo coach is aware of this improvement and has decided to grant him more starting roles than expected this season Fran García has replied to that trust with good performances dispelling any "vertigo" the Real Madrid coach might have had regarding his increased prominence this season Carlo Ancelotti knows he can count on the Castilian-Manchego full-back to effectively and reliably replace Ferland Mendy whenever he needs to rest the French '23' Carlo Ancelotti highlights a problem in the team | Real Madrid Confidencial FIRST TEAM Ancelotti Warns about Lucas Vázquez and Real Madrid Makes a Firm Decision in JanuaryReggiolo's coach is clear about one of his team's weak points16/12/2024 14:55:00h by Enrique Sanz Real Madrid's performance has become slightly irratic for some time now have negatively influenced the dynamics of a team that stills is a candidate for all the titles to be disputed this season But the shortage of players is more than notable Ancelotti has already made it clear that the right wing position is one of the worst areas in Santiago Bernabéu changing room at the moment The poor performance of Lucas Vázquez accentuates the sense  of urgency in that position Lucas Vázquez in a match with Real Madrid | Real Madrid ConfidencialReggiolo's coach has already informed the Valdebebas offices that Curtis' '17' is the only player available in the first team in a key position Dani Carvajal's serious injury means that his positional partner must accumulate a heavy load of games and minutes causing more fatigue and giving more chances of injury According to the information published by the newspaper As the coaching staff considers this dilemma to be an extremely urgent and priority "headache" But according to the newspaper, the coaching staff would have replied by refusing to make any transfers during the month of January It doesn't seem like Real Madrid are ready to make any mid-season changes to their team The roadmap of the executives led by Florentino Pérez is always looking ahead to the 2025 summer transfer window That's why Carlo Ancelotti will have to put up with Lucas Vázquez for the rest of the current season it will be an excellent opportunity to count on some of the talents from La Fábrica or 'discover' the versatility of other first team players Fede Valverde could be a regular in that position as happened when Lucas Vázquez himself was injured in the last few games That seems to be the most appropriate change that Carlo Ancelotti would've in mind to replace Lucas Vázquez Especially given the context of the player himself Because the player has a contract with the white club until the summer of 2025 The generational change plans devised by the white leadership have 'pushed' the Galician player to leave as a free agent Carlo Ancelotti Looks at Thibaut Courtois with Many Doubts Due to His Physical Condition | Real Madrid Confidencial FIRST TEAM Courtois's Injury Is More Serious Than It Seems Ancelotti Very WorriedThe Belgian '1's physical problems warn of an unexpected complication for the Reggiolo coach01/04/2025 10:55:00h by Enrique Sanz One of the most demanding competitive sagas that Real Madrid currently faces with just hours remaining before a crucial match for the current season The Belgian '1' returned to his national team after several years for the international break this March Rudi García decided to leave him out of Belgium's second match last month citing physical problems that were expected to disappear soon and the Belgian '1' is still dealing with these issues that prevent him from being on the field in the upcoming matches and Carlo Ancelotti has to make a decision Thibaut Courtois during a match with Real Madrid this season | Real Madrid ConfidencialNot only for the second leg of the semifinals between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad a match that is less than twelve hours away from starting at Santiago Bernabéu Also for the LaLiga match against Valencia and the Champions League quarterfinals The merengue players face Arsenal led by Mikel Arteta in that stage According to information published by Cadena COPE Thibaut Courtois's physical condition hasn't improved within the expected margins The episcopal broadcaster also indicates that the goalkeeper from Bree is "doubtful" for being on the roster against Valencia That match on April 5 was marked as his comeback Carlo Ancelotti would bet on the continuity of Andriy Lunin in goal taking advantage of the Copa del Rey match The Ukrainian '13' has proven to be a reliable goalkeeper to the Reggiolo coach who in return has given him absolute starting status in the 'K.O But it wouldn't be the only match where Lunin would have to put on the gloves to cover for Thibaut Courtois Given the doubts surrounding the physical condition of the merengue '1' for the clash against Valencia the goal of his recovery would be the Champions League quarterfinals Courtois's presence in that double duel against Arsenal two more than crucial matches for Real Madrid remains a practically impossible mystery to solve Andriy Lunin This Season with Real Madrid | Real Madrid ConfidencialIn this context Real Madrid will closely monitor the performance and condition of their two first-team goalkeepers Not only for the matches of the current season but also for the future of the first team A good performance by Andriy Lunin could establish him as the 'heir' to Thibaut Courtois in the Madrid goal the Belgian '1's injury would influence the potential renewal offer he receives in the coming months The executives led by Florentino Pérez had considered extending his stay in Santiago Bernabéu locker room until the summer of 2028 Carlo Ancelotti makes a decision about his future at Real Madrid | Real Madrid Confidencial FIRST TEAM Ancelotti Has Already Confessed It to His Inner Circle His Future on the Bench Is SealedThe Real Madrid coach is very clear about his future in European football's elite.07/03/2025 14:20:00h by Enrique Sanz One of the major dilemmas that Real Madrid must solve for the next season is the future of Carlo Ancelotti has left serious doubts about the continuity of the Reggiolo coach the Italian strategist still has the confidence of the white board of directors Taking into account that support conveyed from the Valdebebas offices the transalpine coach makes it clear what his ideal future is in the European soccer elite The information published by Mario Cortegana reveals that Carlo Ancelotti would like to remain in charge of the first merengue team from the summer of 2025 Carlo Ancelotti gestures on the sidelines of Benito Villamarín | Real Madrid ConfidencialThe journalist from "The Athletic" makes it very clear Carlo Ancelotti believes that his time as Real Madrid's coach is not over yet and wants to stay with the Madrid squad to help win many more titles The European coach is already a legend both inside and outside the Madrid squad: he is their most decorated coach surpassing a benchmark like Miguel Muñoz But what has been achieved at the tactical helm of Santiago Bernabéu locker room would not be enough for the Reggiolo coach His succession by Xabi Alonso has lost some ground after the last Champions League matchday but the merengue executives are still closely monitoring the Donostia coach the former Liverpool or Bayern Munich player arrives at the home bench of Santiago Bernabéu everything points to Carlo Ancelotti continuing as coach Not only because it is the will of the Italian coach himself but because the executives led by Florentino Pérez trust his work at the helm of the sports discipline The damage that may have been caused this season will be assessed at the end of it when the first meetings for the sports planning of the next course take place It will be then that Carlo Ancelotti's future will take shape definitively because his continuity in Madrid ultimately depends on the white leadership Carlo Ancelotti managing a Real Madrid match | Real Madrid ConfidencialIt is not the first time that the Italian coach reveals his desire to remain linked to Real Madrid the board of directors led by Florentino Pérez managed to sign a renewal that extended his contract to the current limit: summer of 2026 especially if no title is achieved this season could end his second stage as merengue coach any decision-making will correspond to the white bosses and will come at the end of this season Carlo Ancelotti has already taken steps to solve his most immediate future starting from the summer of 2025 so he awaits a response from the Valdebebas offices Arda Güler left a curious statistic with his starting position against Leganés | Real Madrid Confidencial FIRST TEAM Arda Güler Broke a Record With Real Madrid Against Leganés No One Had Done ItThe performances of the Turkish '15' are analyzed in depth by both the fans and the white technical staff30/03/2025 14:55:00h by Enrique Sanz Carlo Ancelotti Presented a Striking Surprise in the Starting Eleven for the Match Against Leganés The 'pepinera' squad visited Santiago Bernabéu after an international break that wore out the pupils of the Reggiolo coach Arda Güler Had a New Opportunity as a starter with Real Madrid after his good performance with Türkiye While it is true that the footballer from Altindag didn't offer any assists to his teammates nor had the opportunity to score the Reggiolo coach indicated he was satisfied The feelings aroused by the performance of the Turkish '15' are not the only thing that has caught the attention of the team's coaching staff Arda Güler Celebrates His Goal Scored Against Girona | Real Madrid ConfidencialBecause the Turkish attacking midfielder despite constantly playing far from his most usual and natural position The young merengue talent recorded 0.96 expected assists against Leganés: no wonder he was close to providing one or two goal passes to his teammates in the forward line That expected assists record is the highest recorded by a Real Madrid player in the last three years The peculiarity of that record is due to the temporal nature since Arda Güler recorded 0.96 expected assists in less than 70 minutes a statistic that has taken three seasons to be surpassed These data apply both in LaLiga and in the Champions League for the entire white squad Arda Güler Widely Surpassed the 0.65 Expected Assists Mark before Carlo Ancelotti decided to substitute him against Leganés The Growth of the Turkish '15' Continues to Advance albeit slowly given his few appearances and participations in his first two seasons as a white player This Data Published by SOFA Score Shows the Tremendous Ability Arda Güler Has to read the game and identify the best pass Carlo Ancelotti Highlighted Precisely Those Virtues in His Assessment of the Altindag Attacking Midfielder's Match whose place in Santiago Bernabéu locker room for the next season offers serious doubts Arda Güler during a match with Real Madrid | Real Madrid ConfidencialThe Disagreements Between the Reggiolo Coach and Arda Güler the Turkish '15' would be seeking an exit from the white team for the next season.. as long as Carlo Ancelotti continues at the helm of the first team The Executives Led by Florentino Pérez Would Accept That Departure although they would only be willing to process his loan to one of the clubs interested in having his football services Because Arda Güler is a player destined to lead the next sports projects given his great quality and the trust that the management has placed in the attacking midfielder Ancelotti made his professional football debut with Parma in Serie C He played a key role in the Crociati’s promotion to Serie B in the 1978/79 season scoring a brace in the playoff decider against Triestina He then joined Roma and enjoyed incredible success with AC Milan before his retirement at just 33 years of age Ancelotti took charge of Parma between 1996 and 1998 he’s won five Champions League titles – two
