Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti made it clear he’ll never voluntarily step down as Real Madrid’s manager and expressed his wish to remain at the helm until 2029. During a press conference, he stated firmly: "The date I leave this club will never be my decision."

Strong Ties with Florentino Pérez

Ancelotti spoke about his relationship with club president Florentino Pérez, recently re-elected for another four-year term: "Florentino will be here for another four years, and he knows me very well. My goal is to stay until then and say goodbye together with all the affection in the world."

A Committed but Uncertain Future

Acknowledging that his time with the club will eventually end, Ancelotti emphasized that the decision won’t be up to him: "I know that day will come, but I don’t know when. It could be tomorrow, after the match, in a year, or in five."

With these remarks, the coach reaffirmed his dedication to Real Madrid, leaving the decision on his future in the club’s hands and expressing his desire to remain a key figure in the team’s ongoing journey.
