The 65-year-old Italian has won the Champions League a record five times and is currently in his second stint with Real Madrid.
However, after losing to Arsenal in the Champions League, Los Blancos have had a dismal season and are currently four points behind Barcelona in La Liga with six games remaining.
Ancelotti, who has been at Madrid since 2021 and is the only manager to have won the championship in each of the five major European leagues, has discussed becoming the next coach of Brazil with middlemen.
Ancelotti, however, stated that he was still in the “honeymoon” phase with Madrid despite rumors that he was leaving, reports Daily Mail.
‘I love being here and I hope this will last as long as possible,’ he said. ‘The honeymoon continues. I’m very happy, contented.
‘There is a lot of pressure, true, but that is always the case at this point of the season.
‘I’m happy with the club, they know this has been a tough season. Stress is fuel – it doesn’t bother me, it gives me more energy.’
