Real Madrid’s management was furious over the way the team was eliminated from the Champions League, and now the club is in the midst of a massive revolution to change things.
Carlo Ancelotti’s squad lost the first leg of the quarter-final against Arsenal 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium and the second leg 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Real Madrid Decides to Sack Ancelotti
Spanish media outlets agree that Carlo Ancelotti is in his final days as Real Madrid’s coach, as the decision to sack him has already been made.
The current disagreement lies in the timing of the Italian coach’s departure.
Initially, Florentino Pérez is counting on Ancelotti staying until the end of the 2025 Club World Cup and then hiring a new coach.
However, Ancelotti could be dismissed before the upcoming World Cup, if they lose the Copa del Rey final to Barcelona on April 26 and then lose the La Liga Clásico and the title on May 11.
In this case, Ancelotti would leave with the final La Liga match, and Santiago Solari would be appointed as interim coach for the Club World Cup, before a new coach is hired.
Xabi Alonso remains Real Madrid’s first choice, and negotiations have already taken place with him in recent months.
The second name that Perez greatly admires is Jürgen Klopp, and it has been reported that the former Reds coach is open to returning to coaching with Los Blancos or the Brazilian national team.
Real Madrid to Depart 5 Players Next Summer
The Madrid revolution will not only be on the bench, but will also extend to the squad, as the club has decided on five players who will leave the Santiago Bernabéu during the next summer transfer window.
The first name is left-back Fran Garcia, who has been given numerous opportunities without successfully establishing himself.
Another name is David Alaba, whose injury appears to have affected him and prevented him from performing as expected, even though the player wishes to honor his contract until the summer of 2026.
The third name Real Madrid is seeking to secure a large sum of money for is Aurelien Tchouameni. Perez has also decided not to renew Lucas Vázquez’s contract and is satisfied with the performances he has achieved over the past ten years.
Finally, there is disagreement over the future of Arda Güler. The current trend is for him to leave in the summer, whether on loan or permanently, but this matter will be decided by the new coach.
