Carlo Ancelotti has decided to leave Real Madrid even though his contract expires in June 2026.

Spanish media report, Onda Cero, on Monday, January 20, 2025, local time, said that the 65-year-old coach's decision was very unanimous.

He will not change his mind even though he won many trophies this season with Los Blancos.

The Italian tactician hopes Real Madrid will accept his decision as he feels his cycle at Los Blancos has ended after becoming the club's most successful manager in history.

Ancelotti, who renewed his contract in December 2023, was linked to a number of rumors.

The warmest issue is about an offer from the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) to coach the Samba Team.

The Brazilian National Team is waiting for him with open arms and not hiding him in public.

Earlier in late 2023, CBF even postponed the selection of new coaches to wait for Ancelotti. However, the Italian coach decided to stay at Real Madrid and in June 2024 he won a historic double title.

Apparently, even though a year had passed, Brazil was still waiting for Ancelotti, who apparently decided to terminate his contract at Bernabeu sooner.

Ancelotti returns to Real Madrid in 2021 for a second term. During his two terms in Bernabeu, he brought his troops to create a new history.

Los Blancos have enjoyed the club's most successful days with two La Liga trophies, two Champions Leagues, one Copa del Rey, the European Super Cup and the Spanish Super Cup, as well as the Club World Cup.

Not to mention the fact that Ancelotti brought Real Madrid to 150 La Liga wins throughout his career in the Spanish capital.

In fact, this season's La Liga title is getting closer to Real Madrid's trophy cabinet. They have just overtook Atletico Madrid to lead the standings by two points.

However, Los Blancos did not appear to be in a good position in the Champions League group stage, having won three wins and three defeats from six matches so far.

Meanwhile, the name Xabi Alonso has resurfaced as a successor to Ancelotti. Coach Bayer Leverkusen is at the forefront of next season's Real Madrid coach candidate.
