Hey there fellow football fanatics! Have you heard the scoop from the Bernabeu? Well, buckle up because Carlo Ancelotti, the big cheese at Real Madrid, just signed a fancy new deal with the club. And get this – it’s locked in until 2026!
The 64-year-old Italian maestro first took charge at Real Madrid again in 2021 under a three-year deal. But guess what? He’s now in it for the long haul until June 2026, folks! That’s right, he’s not going anywhere for a good while.
Rumor has it there were talks of Ancelotti possibly taking the reins as Brazil’s manager earlier this year. But he shut that down real quick, making it clear that he’s in it for the long run with the mighty Real Madrid. Can’t blame him, can you?
This boss man has quite the impressive track record with Real Madrid. I mean, the dude has 10 titles under his belt, including not one, but TWO Champions League victories. And get this – one of those wins happened in his first season back at the club in 2021-22. Talk about making a grand entrance, right?
Oh, and it doesn’t stop there. This guy has also snagged a La Liga title, a couple of Copa del Reys, a pair of Club World Cups, a couple of European Super Cups, and a Spanish Super Cup. Phew! That’s quite the trophy collection, if you ask me.
If you’re a Real Madrid fanatic, you’ll probably remember Ancelotti’s first stint as manager from 2013 to 2015. He bid adieu to the club following a Champions League victory, only to make a triumphant return after Zinedine Zidane stepped down, fresh off his gig at Everton.
And check this out – Ancelotti’s got some serious bragging rights. He’s the only coach to have snagged four European Cups. But wait, there’s more. He’s also the first manager to conquer all five major European leagues – that’s Italy, England, France, Germany, and of course, Spain.
Now, let’s talk about the team’s performance. Last season, Real Madrid clinched the Copa del Rey but fell just short to Barcelona in the La Liga race. And they got the boot in the Champions League semi-finals. Tough break, right?
But don’t worry, fellow football fanatics! This season, Real Madrid is sitting pretty at the top of La Liga after 18 matches. Plus, they’re still in the running for all their European and domestic cup competitions. Looks like Ancelotti’s got the squad firing on all cylinders!
So, there you have it, folks. The maestro himself is committed to steering the Real Madrid ship straight through to 2026. Get ready for some more action-packed, edge-of-your-seat football with this living legend at the helm. It’s definitely going to be one wild ride!
