Real Madrid are preparing to face Athletic Bilbao next Wednesday at San Mamés in an important match where Los Blancos aim to collect three points. Carlo Ancelotti is focusing on what he can control, avoiding thoughts about the future, although he made his mental position clear during the press conference.
The Italian coach said: “The results show that I was not at my best. I am not happy, but I am concerned enough. I am convinced that we will fix it, as we always do.”
As expected, this statement has fueled further discussions about a possible replacement for Ancelotti, introducing a new name that is highly respected at the Santiago Bernabéu.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central”, although Ancelotti’s departure currently seems unlikely, the truth is that his son, Davide Ancelotti, the assistant coach, enjoys significant popularity at the club due to his strong commitment to young players and his bold approach to work.
The Italian assistant is considered a respected figure within the team, which makes the possibility of him taking over the team’s coaching role in the future quite feasible.
The newspaper concluded that Ancelotti is extremely pleased with his son’s performance and the admiration he has earned from the club’s officials. If there is anyone Ancelotti could nominate to lead the team after him, it would be his son and assistant, Davide.
