In the wake of Real Madrid\u2019s latest defeat at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u, Carlo Ancelotti\u2019s future with the club is now hanging by a thread. Just hours after his team was humiliated 3-1 by AC Milan, where he once enjoyed a successful tenure, the 65-year-old coach is facing mounting pressure. Despite a recent contract extension until 2026, Ancelotti\u2019s position is under serious scrutiny as Madrid struggles to find form.<\/p>\n
The team\u2019s disappointing performances\u2014highlighted by a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Barcelona on October 26 and the recent loss to Milan\u2014have left the Madridistas frustrated and concerned. Reports from Relevo indicate that club president Florentino P\u00e9rez and other key figures, who had previously stood by Ancelotti, are now reconsidering his future. The stark reality is that Real Madrid\u2019s current lineup is lacking leadership, cohesion, and the fighting spirit necessary for success.<\/p>\n
According to sources, several Madrid executives are seriously contemplating parting ways with Ancelotti if the team suffers further defeats in the coming weeks. This decision seems imminent after an outburst from fans at the Bernab\u00e9u, where thousands voiced their displeasure with chants and boos, pointing to Ancelotti as the main culprit behind the team\u2019s faltering performances.<\/p>\n
Ancelotti Acknowledges the Pressure<\/p>\n
In the aftermath of the Milan loss, Ancelotti was direct about his situation. During the post-match press conference, he admitted the undeniable pressure on his position: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t seem unjust for them to question me; it seems normal. When the team doesn\u2019t perform, the responsibility lies with the coach,\u201d he said, fully aware that his tenure might be coming to an end.<\/p>\n
Critical Matches Ahead for Ancelotti and Madrid<\/p>\n
Real Madrid\u2019s upcoming fixtures will likely determine Ancelotti\u2019s fate. The team faces Osasuna in La Liga this weekend before the international break. Once the break ends, Ancelotti\u2019s side will travel to Legan\u00e9s, followed by a crucial Champions League clash against Liverpool at Anfield on November 27. A defeat to Liverpool, who are currently perfect in the Champions League with four wins, could spell the end for Ancelotti.<\/p>\n
If Madrid\u2019s leadership opts to delay their decision, the three upcoming La Liga matches\u2014against Getafe (December 1), Athletic Club (December 4), and Girona (December 8)\u2014will be pivotal in shaping the direction of the team and Ancelotti\u2019s futureA Make-or-Break Moment for the Coach and His Players<\/p>\n
Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 and his teammates are under immense pressure to turn things around quickly, especially as frustrations grow with Ancelotti\u2019s handling of younger players, who are not getting the opportunities Madrid fans expect. Whether the players still believe in Ancelotti\u2019s methods remains to be seen, but if results do not improve, it seems certain that a change is on the horizon.<\/p>\n
