Carlo Ancelotti expected to leave Real Madrid after Copa Del Rey final

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti is expected to leave the club after the Copa del Rey final on Saturday ( 26 April ) against Barcelona.

Ancelotti cast doubt over his future as Real head coach after Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final defeat to Arsenal, which saw his team lose 2-1 at home and 5-1 on aggregate.

It is understood that the 65-year-old will remain in place until the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona in Seville but is expected to depart the club after that game.

Real and Barcelona are fighting it out for the domestic double, with Ancelotti’s side sitting four points behind Barca in the league with seven games to play.

The pair meet in El Clasico on May 11, but the Italian is not expected to be in charge for the game in Barcelona.

Brazil want to appoint the ex-Everton boss as their new head coach and he could be installed in the role before the end of the Spanish domestic campaign.

Speaking about his Real future following Wednesday night’s defeat to Arsenal, Ancelotti said: “Maybe the club decides to replace me and maybe it could be this year, or next year when my contract is over.

“But when I am done here, I will be grateful to this club. That could be tomorrow, 10 days, one month or in one year, but if my contract ends or doesn’t end, I really don’t care.

“We have managed the bright side many times and we have won titles, but we need to manage the dark side too. We need to accept it because over the two games, Arsenal have been better than us.”
