At Real Madrid, there’s a strong focus on both the present and future, as continuous progress is essential for the club. The current evaluation shows no room for complacency. Coach Carlo Ancelotti is contracted until the summer of 2026 after extending his deal last December, a decision made intentionally.
According to Defensa Central, Real Madrid President Florentino Pérez is exploring potential successors for Ancelotti should he leave the club. A new, unexpected candidate has emerged as a serious contender.
Currently, Ancelotti is dedicated to managing the team and meeting the high demands of modern football at Real Madrid, where winning titles is crucial. Meanwhile, Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez are planning for the future, considering Ancelotti’s contract duration. One option being seriously evaluated is Davide Ancelotti, Carlo’s son, who is highly respected at the club.
Real Madrid highly values Davide Ancelotti’s contributions as an assistant coach and recognizes that much of the team’s daily operations are due to his efforts. While Davide does not have the extensive experience of his father, the club sees significant potential in him and views him as a promising candidate for the future.
This admiration has been conveyed to both Carlo and Davide, with the belief that Davide is likely to be a fitting successor to Carlo as the head coach of Real Madrid in the near future.
