Although everything seems to be fine on the surface level, there’s actually a conflict brewing behind the scenes at Real Madrid between Carlo Ancelotti and Florentino Perez and the board, the credible Relevo report.
The president was enraged by Madrid’s loss to Barcelona in the Supercopa final and scolded Ancelotti and physical trainer Antonio Pintus on the plane back to Spain. Florentino was extremely unhappy with the Merengues’ performance in El Clasico and insisted that there are no secondary trophies.
Perez reminded the coach that the Whites experienced a similar slump in 2015 which resulted in Carlo’s sacking.
Ancelotti, on his part, is unsatisfied with Madrid’s transfer policies. Although the coach tells the press that he is happy with the squad, he is more critical behind closed doors and claims that he has only 14-15 players in the team that he can actually count on.
Carletto wants reinforcements and points at Barca, who have been upgrading their squad despite the dire financial situation. Moreover, the Italian technician wants signings up front while Real Madrid’s scouting team is currently focused on full-backs.
The coach’s understanding is that the club is putting money aside for big signings like Kylian Mbappe or Jude Bellingham. However, these signings are not guaranteed and may arrive already when there’s a new manger at Santiago Bernabeu.
Ancelotti has a contract until 2024. Ultimately, his future will depend on the titles he wins until the end of the season, with La Liga, Copa del Rey, Champions League and the Club World Cup still up for grabs.
