Real Madrid continue their preparation for the 2024/25 season. The Brazilian striker, Endrick, is set to join in the summer, while there has also been a major development in the coaching aspect.
Carlo Ancelotti, the head coach of Real Madrid has extended his contract with Los Blancos till 2026.
This news officially ends the speculation about who would be Madrid’s next manager – for the next two seasons at least – as Xabi Alonso and Zinedine Zidane were named as potential successors. It also puts to rest the news about Ancelotti joining the Brazil national team at the end of this season.
The Italian’s priority was to continue at Real Madrid hence the club offered him a renewal based on the results. Being 1st in La Liga and unbeaten in Champions League group stages, strengthened the club’s confidence in him.
Arguably one of the greatest managers of all time, Carlo managed the squad well despite crucial players not being at his disposal due to injuries, and also helped Jude Bellingham unlock his full potential in just a few months.
For now, Ancelotti has asked for a center-back in the winter transfer window because he only has 2 proper center-backs (Rudiger, Nacho) and one make-shift center-back (Tchouameni) to use. It remains to be seen whether his wish will be granted.
With the potential arrival of Kylian Mbappe and Alphonso Davies next season – The Italian may have an even better squad for next year. Despite half of the current season remaining, fans might as well begin to set their sights on the next two seasons under Carlo Ancelotti.
