End of 4-year term? It was revealed that the 65-year-old An Shuai decided to leave this summer, and Real Madrid appointed the Bundesliga champion to take over

On the evening of January 20, Beijing time, according to a report from the well-known Spanish media Zero Point Radio, the 65-year-old Ancelotti has made a decision not to continue to coach Real Madrid after the end of this season. Even though the season ended in a title and the club insisted that he fulfill his contract, the Italian coach decided to end his coaching career at Real Madrid this summer. And his contract with Real Madrid was supposed to expire in the summer of 2026.

Western media said that although An Shuai enjoyed every day at Real Madrid very much, he also believed that this time should be over. Carlo Ancelotti does not intend to retire and wants to continue coaching in other countries, but not in Brazil exactly.

Ancelotti, born on June 10, 1959, made his debut in charge of Real Madrid from July 2013 to May 2015. After a six-year absence, he returned to Real Madrid in July 2021. He helped Real Madrid win the Champions League three times, the Club World Cup twice, the Super Cup three times and La Liga twice.

So far, Carlo Ancelotti has led the team to 150 La Liga victories, a total of 210 games, with a record of 150 wins, 34 draws and 26 defeats, Ancelotti is the fastest manager in history to reach 150 La Liga wins.

After Carlo Ancelotti's departure, Real Madrid's new boss next season will be the 43-year-old Bayer Leverkusen's current manager Xavi Alonso. After helping Bayer Leverkusen win the Bundesliga title for the first time in their history last season, Alonso led the team to a four-point deficit with Bayern this season, and his coaching ability has been widely recognized. Although those around Alonso do not take Real Madrid for granted. Anything can happen on the football field, though.
