Carlo Ancelotti’s future as Real Madrid coach is at stake, and the Royal Club’s management has begun to think about ousting him, according to the “Relevo” network.
Real suffered their second consecutive defeat at home in less than two weeks, when they lost 3-1 to Milan in the Champions League and before that they were defeated 4-0 by Barcelona in the La Liga Clasico.
Although Ancelotti’s contract with Real still extends until the summer of 2026, the coach is on the verge of being sacked due to poor results.
Real Madrid’s management has run out of patience with Ancelotti
According to the “Relevo” network and quoting a source from within the Real Madrid management, the club is beginning to run out of patience with Ancelotti.
The Italian coach is now required to achieve victories in the coming period and change the team’s shape, otherwise his dismissal will be his inevitable fate.
Although a few weeks ago this hypothesis was close to impossible, now there are many voices within the Real Madrid administration calling for Ancelotti’s dismissal.
The Royal Club’s administration will be given a last chance to fix things in the coming days, which must be translated into victories and good performance, otherwise he will be immediately ousted.

Reasons for Real Madrid to consider sacking Ancelotti
According to the source, what angers Real Madrid’s administration the most about Ancelotti after the poor results is his failure to include the duo Endrick and Arda Guler.
Guler usually leaves positive impressions in every participation, however, he does not participate regularly, while Endrick has been completely out of the calculations, two things that have surprised all officials at the Santiago Bernabeu.
At the same time, there is growing concern about Jude Bellingham, as the English player is the most affected by Ancelotti’s various tactical experiments, and keeping him away from the penalty area has made his numbers very miserable and caused a state of imbalance for the player himself.
Real Madrid’s upcoming matches
After losing to Milan, Real Madrid are preparing to host Osasuna next Saturday in La Liga, a match that does not seem easy at all considering the rival is experiencing one of its best seasons in the last decade.
Osasuna is in fifth place with 21 points, just 3 points behind Real Madrid, with one game less for the Merengue after the postponement of the Valencia match.
A loss to Osasuna and at the same time a victory for Barcelona over Real Sociedad will increase the difference between them in La Liga to 12 points, which could be enough to immediately overthrow Ancelotti.
If Real Madrid succeeds in winning and Ancelotti continues, difficult matches await him after the international break, starting with an away match against Leganes in La Liga, then moving to Anfield to face Liverpool in the Champions League.
Who will succeed Ancelotti as Real Madrid coach?
But the departure of the great coach in the middle of the season will leave Real Madrid with the burden of finding another solution, given that Alonso will not leave his club before the end of the season.
Some speculations suggest that sporting director Santiago Solari may be appointed temporarily until the end of the season, or that Raul will be promoted from Castilla to coach the team temporarily.
Alonso remains Florentino Perez’s preferred choice to coach the Merengue next season and start a new project that is completely different from Ancelotti in terms of ideas and implementation.
Real Madrid this season
It remains to be noted that Real Madrid this season have lost 3 matches in 3 months, which is more than they lost in the entire last season (two matches throughout the season).
Real Madrid are ranked 17th in the Champions League with 6 points from two wins over Stuttgart and Dortmund and two defeats against Lille and Milan.
In the Spanish League, the Merengue are second, 9 points behind Barcelona, ​​with one match less for Los Blancos after 12 rounds of the competition.
