Real Madrid have already chosen Ancelotti’s successor and will announce it after LaLiga ends

While this Sunday’s El Clasico dominates headlines, Real Madrid’s leadership has already made a crucial decision regarding the future of their bench. The successor to Carlo Ancelotti has been chosen, and all signs point to an official announcement once the season concludes. Despite speculation about a potential early exit for the Italian coach—especially if they lose to Barcelona—the club’s board remains calm and committed to their timeline.

As revealed by Manu Carreño on El Larguero from Cadena SER, the club will not change its course based on the outcome at the Santiago Bernabeu. Ancelotti will stay in charge until the end of LaLiga, after which he will take over as Brazil’s national team coach—an agreement that has been in place for some time.

Behind the scenes, Madrid already has the perfect replacement lined up. It’s the current manager of Bayer Leverkusen, who has had an outstanding season in Germany. He is considered the ideal figure to lead the club into its next era. Not only does he have a past as a Madrid player, but he also brings a modern tactical approach, strong leadership qualities, and a footballing philosophy that aligns with the club’s vision for the future.

The plan is to make this managerial transition as smooth as possible. The incoming coach is expected to arrive in time to prepare for a key event on the club’s upcoming calendar: the revamped FIFA Club World Cup in 2025—a golden opportunity to launch a new chapter with global ambitions.
