Many members of the Real Madrid board and players are unhappy with Ancelotti’s tactics and personnel management since the beginning of the season

Relevo revealed that Real Madrid’s management team believes that Carlo Ancelotti is not the only one to blame for the poor form since the beginning of the season, but they affirm that the Italian coach is the main reason for what is happening.

The 0-1 defeat to Lille in the Champions League was Real Madrid’s worst match since the beginning of the 2024/25 season. Coach Ancelotti has a star-studded squad, but the performance of “Los Blancos” this season seems to be worse than last year. This has made Real Madrid’s board unhappy.

“He (Ancelotti) has a dressing room full of stars and people expect that at this point in the season, in addition to results, Real Madrid will play a higher level of football than last season,” a source from Real Madrid revealed.

With the appearance of Mbappe or Endrick, Real Madrid in theory have a stronger than last season. However, everything from the beginning of the season shows the opposite. The Real Madrid dressing room also believes that Ancelotti’s favoritism towards Mbappe and Endrick is creating an imbalance in the playing style, as these two new players are not good at defending.

The pressure on coach Ancelotti is now increasing, especially when they are behind the leading team Barca in the La Liga rankings with a gap of 3 points. This could affect the future of the Italian strategist at Bernabeu.

 

Coach Ancelotti does not want to stop and is planning to stay with “Los Blancos” for a long time, after the contract between the two sides expires in the summer of 2026. However, Real Madrid’s board of directors can fire coach Ancelotti next summer if the team does not achieve the desired results.
