According to The Athletic, Carlo Ancelotti has already informed some of his players in informal chats that he will be leaving Real Madrid at the end of the La Liga season.
The Italian manager’s future has been dubious for some time, and his recent defeat to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final has cast a lengthy shadow on his career.
With the anticipation that he will take over the Brazil national squad in June, it now seems inevitable that he will not be in command for the forthcoming Club World Cup.
According to sources at the club’s training ground, Ancelotti has informed members of the squad of his plan to stand down.
Although his departure has not been formally confirmed, it appears that an announcement will be made shortly.
With only a few games remaining in the season, Ancelotti now confronts the challenge of leading his team to a La Liga title, with his final games expected to be his final chance to create a lasting legacy at the club.
Ancelotti’s final chance to secure La Liga glory
Ancelotti still has five matches remaining to try to win the La Liga title for Real Madrid. Their next match is at home against Celta Vigo, followed by the high-stakes El Clásico away to Barcelona on May 11.

Following that, Real Madrid will host Mallorca before traveling to Sevilla for another important away game.
Their final game of the season is at home to Real Sociedad, slated for the weekend of May 25/26. This is believed to be Ancelotti’s final game in charge of Los Blancos.
Despite Ancelotti’s triumph last season, which saw Real Madrid win both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, this season has been disappointing.
Injuries have played a role, but tactical flaws and the club’s reluctance to make timely market moves have also contributed to their troubles.
