Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has refused to specify the position in which Kylian Mbappé will play for the Royal Club next season, merely promising fans that he will find the most suitable position for the French star in his squad.
Mbappé usually plays on the left flank, which is where Vinicius Junior has been shining at Real Madrid, making him the closest to playing in the center of attack, a position in which Jude Bellingham also shone last season.
When asked about Mbappé’s position, Ancelotti replied, “We’ll put him somewhere, we’ll find him a place in the lineup.”
Ancelotti’s remarks come hours after what was published by the newspaper “Marca” about the Italian coach’s request to add another element to the technical staff, but Real Madrid’s management refused the matter.
The newspaper went on to analyze that Ancelotti needs more technical assistance to find the perfect combination after the addition of Mbappé as well as Endrick, and the presence of an overabundance of players in the attacking line.
Ancelotti was also asked about when he will retire from coaching, to which he replied, “I don’t know exactly when, but when Real Madrid thinks about dispensing with me, I might think about retiring. It will depend on how much passion I have to continue or not.”
He added, “Leading national teams? I’m a bit hesitant about that. I prefer the daily work with clubs and dealing with players on an ongoing basis, which is impossible to find in national teams.”
