Real Madrid, Ancelotti reach agreement over exit; announcement likely after El Clasico | OneFootball

Real Madrid have already begun casting the dice for next season, and a massive overhaul is clearly incoming.

Earlier today, Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold officially announced his departure from the English club at the end of the season and his move to Real Madrid is said to be all but complete.

Now, there appear to be quick movements on the managerial front with Florentino Perez and Co seemingly in a hurry to sort out the coaching situation.

Agreement reached

News of Carlo Ancelotti’s departure from Real Madrid has been doing the rounds for a while now, and the club’s administration reportedly even served as a deterring factor to the Italian tactician’s impending move to the Brazilian national team.

As relayed by Mario Cortegana in a recent update, Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid have finally reached an agreement over the terms of the coach’s exit from the club after weeks of tension.

The official announcement of his departure is now imminent and can come at any time, possibly even immediately after the upcoming El Clasico. In any case, it is expected before the end of the current league season.

Perez and Co. did not wish to pay out Ancelotti’s remaining salary given that he was immediately going to be joining a new job and thus created some problems with his departure. Now, however, the dust has seemingly settled.

The report thus adds that the Italian coach is set to join Brazil almost immediately and will be in charge of their matches from as early as June.

Needless to say, it is clear that Perez and Ancelotti found a solution that benefitted all parties. As for the Italian’s replacement, everything indicates that Xabi Alonso is poised to take over.
