Real Madrid is preparing for their upcoming match against Athletic Bilbao next Wednesday at San Mamés, aiming to secure three points. Carlo Ancelotti is focusing on the present and what he can control, avoiding thoughts about the future, although he made his position clear during the press conference.
The Italian coach remarked, “The results show that I wasn’t at my best. I’m not happy, but I’m concerned enough. I’m confident we will resolve it, as we always do.” This statement has sparked more speculation about a potential replacement for Ancelotti, with a new name gaining prominence at the Santiago Bernabéu.
According to the Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central,” while Ancelotti’s departure doesn’t seem imminent, his son, Davide Ancelotti, the assistant coach, has gained significant respect at the club due to his dedication to young players and his bold approach. Davide is highly regarded within the team, making the possibility of him taking over the head coach role in the future quite plausible.
The newspaper concluded that Ancelotti is extremely pleased with his son’s performance and the respect he has earned from club officials. If there were to be a successor after Ancelotti, it would likely be his son and assistant, Davide.
