Carlo Ancelotti has spoken out about his Real Madrid future as the Italian boss prepares to enter his final 12 months contracted at the club. The former Chelsea manager was asked about where he sees himself in the coming year ahead of the Champions League quarter-final, second leg tie at Stamford Bridge.
Having already spent two seasons at SW6, winning the double and finishing second in his final year before being brutally sacked on the final day of the season, Ancelotti is amongst the names linked for the vacant head coach role. Although it appears he is an outsider, with Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique the favourites for the post.
That doesn't mean that his decision moving forward won't still impact Chelsea's search for a third permanent manager in under one year of the new ownership group taking over. Due to a complex merry-go-round expected in the summer, Ancelotti could yet play a major role in who ends up sitting in the hot seat come the start of the 2023/24 season.
