Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is clear that his immediate future is still linked to the Madrid team, from which he will not move until the end of his contract, on June 30, 2024, if he is not «fired» earlier, so it does not seem likely that he can become Tite’s successor at the helm of Brazil as initially reported from the Brazilian country.
«I don’t know what the future holds for me because I live day by day, but for now I feel very good at Real Madrid, we have many goals to achieve this season and there will be time to think about my future. I have a contract until June 30, 2024 and if Real Madrid doesn’t kick me out, I won’t move until then,» Ancelotti said this Monday on ‘Radio Anch’io sport’.
The man from Reggiolo also referred to the World Cup in Qatar, where he believes the final was «deservedly won» by an Argentina, who had «conviction and was driven by a fantastic Messi». «They won because they have good players and because they have the best, which is Messi; and also because they have been able to maintain that quality with contributions such as Julian Alvarez and Enzo Fernandez, but also because they had a certain defensive attitude,» he detailed.
«Scaloni was good, he did an extraordinary job, but he didn’t invent anything new, he just put the players in place and gave them a good defensive organization, supporting the great talent of Messi, Álvarez and Di María. The teams that showed the best individual talent and the best organization reached the final,» added the Italian in statements reported by ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’.
Ancelotti recalled that both Messi, who «completes his career with the conquest of a World Cup», and Cristiano Ronaldo «have been the main architects» in this latest era of soccer, and stressed that the Portuguese, although he ends his attempt to win the World Cup «in another way», can boast of having had «an extraordinary career, especially at Real Madrid where he will remain forever in the hearts of the fans».
«I don’t know what Cristiano will do in the future, he still wants to compete at a very high level and I don’t think that Arab soccer in that sense could be suitable for him,» said the Real Madrid coach on the possibility that the Madeira native will return to Saudi Arabia after ending his time at Manchester United.
