Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that he will announce his decision about his future at the end of the season.
Ancelotti has been linked with an exit following the club’s poor performances this season which culminated in a heavy defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League, and also a Copa del Rey final defeat to Barcelona.
The 65-year-old has one year left on his Real Madrid contract, and he has been linked with the Brazilian national team job.
The former Chelsea coach has provided update about his future plans ahead of the clash against Celta Vigo on Sunday.
Ancelotti said: “I have a lot of affection for my club, my players and our fans, and also a lot of respect. So I will speak about my future on the 25th (of May) and not before.
He also said any day he decides to leave the club that it will be a fantastic goodbye because he has never had any problems in his two spells.
Ancelotti said: “It will be a fantastic goodbye, because I have a lot of affection for the club and it does for me too, I will never fight or argue with the club.
“Never have I done so in six years and I never will, I won’t let myself, until the last day, which could be the 25th, which could be in 2025, or it could be the 25th of May 2026, or 2030.
“That I don’t know, but whichever day it is, it will be a very beautiful day.”
Real Madrid suffered a triple injury blow this week when the like of Antonio Rudiger, Ferland Mendy and David Alaba were all ruled out for the rest of the season.
Ancelotti said: “We’re thinking about the upcoming games, we’re thinking about what we can fight for — La Liga until the last second.
“We’ve had a lot of injuries in this week but we’re convinced we can put out a good team and win tomorrow’s game.”
Real Madrid currently trail Barcelona by four points with five matches remaining.
