Carlo Ancelotti’s future has been a subject of constant debate, but now it is official: he will be staying with Real Madrid for another year.

The Italian’s contract was up at the end of the season, so his future had been a hot topic of talk for a while.

Before the 2024 Copa América, the Brazilian national team was especially eager to hire Ancelotti, and many attempts were made to do so.

However, Ancelotti had always said that he would stay at Real Madrid if he had the chance, and the club’s management had been taking steps in recent weeks to make sure he stayed.

Now, the club has announced that Ancelotti’s contract has been extended until the summer of 2026. For the next two years, Los Blancos will have him on staff.

The four-time Champions League winner has done a great job with the Merengues this season, keeping the team alive during a period of injuries and keeping them in first place in La Liga at the end of the first half of the season.

In the Champions League, Madrid has been just as good. They went undefeated in the group rounds and made it to the Round of 16.

Since coming back to Real Madrid to lead the team, the 64-year-old manager has won several titles, including the Champions League in 2022.

Real Madrid is sure that Ancelotti is the right person to take this project forward because of what he has done so far, especially this season when they have had a lot of problems with their players.
