Ancelotti before leaving Real Madrid: "I am proud of the opportunity I had to play a role here, to coach this club, and to win championships."

Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti supervised his last training session as head of Real Madrid's coaching staff last Friday before ending his contract with the club at the end of the current season, preparing to take over as the coach of the Brazilian national team. In the press conference following the final training, Ancelotti spoke sincerely about his second experience with the royal team, saying: "I am proud of the opportunity I had to play a role here, to coach this club, to win championships, and to make history with this club. This was the main and primary goal when I came here in 2013." He also sent a message to Chabi Alonso, who is expected to succeed Ancelotti in coaching Real Madrid, expressing his full support and wishing him "all the best in the Club World Cup," emphasizing that the upcoming task requires a great deal of responsibility. Ancelotti said, "The new coach will face significant demands from day one because Real Madrid is a demanding club, and it must be so because it has a history that does not allow it to operate in any other way." Regarding the next phase, he confirmed that "a new era begins now," pointing out that "there is no need for Real Madrid fans to worry because this club always seeks to be at the highest levels." In bidding farewell, Ancelotti mentioned that his personal journey with Real Madrid has ended, as well as the journeys of several club legends like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, adding: "I can mention Casemiro, Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos, and Iker Casillas, but Real Madrid remains the best club in the world." It is worth noting that Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid at the end of the season, having left a clear mark during his second term with the team, which included winning the Spanish League and the UEFA Champions League.
