Real Madrid Players Rally Behind Carlo Ancelotti Amid Speculation Over His Future

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has received resolute support from his squad amidst ongoing speculation about his future. Despite the team’s heavy 4-0 defeat to Manchester City, the players are backing Ancelotti to remain in charge.

Following the match, questions about Ancelotti’s position became a focal point, irritating the manager who emphasized that “the President had been quite clear” regarding his future at Real Madrid.

The players wasted no time in voicing their support for their coach. Vinicius Junior stated unequivocally that Ancelotti should continue, while Luka Modric emphasized that the coach deserved to stay. Modric highlighted Ancelotti’s success in his second stint with the club, including winning all the titles and a remarkable previous season. Modric acknowledged that recent unexpected defeats occurred, but stressed the team’s strong performance in the Cup and Champions League.

German midfielder Toni Kroos also expressed his unwavering faith in Ancelotti, dismissing any doubts about the manager’s future. Kroos saw no room for debate on the matter.

If Real Madrid, particularly President Florentino Perez, take the players’ support into account, the questions about Ancelotti’s future should cease. However, considering the history of how former coaches like Vicente del Bosque and Ancelotti himself were treated, it is natural for speculations of dismissal to arise after significant defeats.
