Will Ancelotti leave? Real Madrid’s Champions League fate may decide the coach’s future

Major changes are looming in European football. Carlo Ancelotti, who led Real Madrid to the Spanish championship and Champions League title last season, may leave his position ahead of schedule.

The decisive quarterfinal: Ancelotti’s future is at stake
According to renowned insider journalist Fabrizio Romano, if Real Madrid fails to advance past the Champions League quarterfinals, the club’s management is considering parting ways with the Italian coach.

It should be noted that in the first leg of the quarterfinal, Real suffered a 0–3 home defeat. The return match will take place on April 16.

Ancelotti and Real — triumphs and tensions
Since Ancelotti took over in 2021, the team has won:

• La Liga (Spanish Championship);
  
• The UEFA Champions League;
  
• The Spanish Super Cup and several other trophies.
  

However, the club’s board is reportedly not fully satisfied. One of the main criticisms is the lack of game time for young stars Arda Güler and Endrick.

There’s a contract, but the future is unclear
The 65-year-old manager’s current contract with the “royal club” runs until the summer of 2026. Still, in football, results are everything — and the outcome of the quarterfinal second leg may determine his fate.

All eyes on Santiago Bernabéu
The football world is watching April 16 closely. Real Madrid’s Champions League journey may define not only their season but also Ancelotti’s future.
