Hans-Dieter Flick: “It’s unpleasant for me to watch what’s happening to Ancelotti”

Barcelona head coach Hans-Dieter Flick, whose team currently leads the Spanish La Liga, commented on the situation surrounding Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti.

According to reports, Real Madrid’s management is increasingly considering the possibility of parting ways with Ancelotti, despite his contract running until the summer of 2026.

“It’s unpleasant for me to see what’s happening with Carlo Ancelotti. He has won all possible trophies with Real Madrid and is a highly experienced coach. I deeply respect his character and professionalism,” Flick told journalists.

It’s worth noting that 65-year-old Ancelotti returned to the Madrid club in 2021. Under his leadership, Real won both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League. However, despite these past achievements, the club’s board is reportedly dissatisfied with this season’s results.

Ancelotti’s potential departure has become a hot topic across Spanish and European football, capturing the attention of fans and pundits alike.

While the Italian coach’s future remains uncertain, Flick’s comments — despite being a direct rival — reflect respect and admiration for Ancelotti’s legacy and continue to be a subject of discussion among football experts. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
