The Athletic reports that Ancelotti has accepted the departure and reached a verbal agreement to terminate the final year of his contract with Real Madrid. An official announcement is expected before the end of the 2024-25 season. Or after Sunday’s ‘El Clasico’ against Barcelona.

If so, it means Ancelotti will not be in charge of Real Madrid at the FIFA Club World Cup, or the new format of the Club World Cup. Which will be held in mid-June to mid-July. With the Italian still likely to take charge of the Brazil national team.

Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso remains Real Madrid’s number one target. But if negotiations are difficult. They could consider having Santiago Solari, Castilla coach Raul Gonzalez or Alvaro Arbeloa. The manager of the A-team, take temporary charge of the team during the FIFA Club World Cup.
