Jose Mourinho has been the only coach that has spent more years at the Bernabue in recent years, three years at the Bernabue.
Carlo Ancelotti has been axed from the Madrid job after just two years in charge at the club. Earlier in the season he won the World club cup and the UEFA Super Cup. But it seems it wasn’t enough for the board members and President himself as they were hoping for a major trophy to be won. Meanwhile in his first year in charge he won the Copa del Rey and the long awaited La Decima, but this season the Madrid body were not satisfied with just the World Club Cup and the Uefa Super Cup.
Perez said that Ancelotti was leaving on good personal terms with his former employers.
“Before coming here I was with Carlo Ancelotti, talking to him,” he said. “He is a gentleman and understood everything completely. He leaves with good relationship with all of us. Your professional relationship is one thing, your personal relationship another.”
It seems it not just the decision of Perez, as he admitted that the position for Madrid job is been analysed every year and als admitted the position of the President of Madrid is not a easy one.
AC Milan Coach Adraino Gilliani flew to Madrid after the news of Carlo Ancelotti been sacked by Madrid in anticipation for him taking the Milan job. But Carlo Ancelotti has taken time to say it would be a pleasure to have a dinner with him but he won’t change his plans as its already set in stone. Knowing he was already going to be sacked, he had said the sacking he would take a year off to recover from an impending back surgery if he were to be relieved from his post at Madrid. I’m going to spend time relaxing, between Madrid and Canada. Because these two years with Real have been very tiring, believe me, and particularly challenging, said of Ancelotti.
It was emotional for the 55 year old and the players as he took time hugging his players after the final game. And he took time to appreciate everyone’s support for him. “I thanked them one by one with a hug and a few select words,” he said. “I can assure you that I’m not lacking offers: from England, Italy, Germany. And I’m sure I’ll be getting plenty in the years to come also.” Carlo Ancelotti finished two points behind league Champions Barcelona.
Names of coaches that have been scouted by local media to replace Ancelotti include; departing Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp, Germany manager Joachim Low, Sevilla’s Unai Emery and ex-Madrid player and former Sevilla and Olympiakos coach Michel, and also current Madrid youth team boss Zinedine Zidane.
Would anyone been willing to take on the Madrid job knowing fully well the stakes are high, and demand for major trophies season after season is of paramount importance?
