安切洛蒂，续约至2026！
On December 29, Beijing time, Real Madrid officially announced that the club and Ancelotti reached an agreement on contract renewal, and An Shuai will renew his contract with Real Madrid until June 30, 2026. This means that the poaching plan of the Brazilian national team has been shattered - before that, the Brazilian Football Federation hopes to ask Carlo Ancelotti to lead the team to the Copa America, the World Preliminary Tournament and the World Cup.
Real Madrid's official announcement reads:
Carlo Ancelotti agreed to extend his contract until 2026. In his five years in charge of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti led the team to 10 trophies, including two Champions League titles and one La Liga title. In Serie A, Premier League, Ligue 1, Bundesliga, La Liga, Ancelotti has league titles, which is the first person in history.
From 2013 to 2015, Carlo Ancelotti coached Real Madrid, bringing four trophies to Real Madrid, and in the summer of 2021, Ancelotti returned to Real Madrid and led the team to win the Champions League, La Liga, UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup, Spanish Super Cup, and Copa del Rey in one fell swoop, achieving Grand Slam.
Ancelotti's contract renewal is not a surprise. In the 2023-24 season, Real Madrid ranked first in La Liga and won all the Champions League group stages. With Benzema leaving, Ancelotti overcame difficulties and created a 442 formation to bring out the pearl of Bellingham, and the veteran Joselu was also reused. In terms of solidarity dressing room and personnel use, Ancelotti is impeccable. What's more, Ancelotti never complains, and makes the best use of his talents.
However, for the Brazilian Football Federation, Ancelotti's contract extension with Real Madrid is a heavy blow.
In the 2022 World Cup, Brazil, with a luxurious squad, was the favorite to win the championship, but was disappointed again. The Brazilian Football Federation has learned the hard way and decided to invite a famous European coach to coach, and Carlo Ancelotti is the number one favorite. Ronaldo pulls the lead, Kaka supports it, and Vinicius, Casemiro and other internationals also fully support. The president of the Brazilian Football Federation, Ednaardo, even came to Europe in person and sincerely invited An Shuai to coach. Brazil was full of confidence and was very optimistic that "An Shuai will be in charge after the Copa America", but the result was a slap in the face......
Ancelotti's goal has always been to coach Real Madrid and achieve another success. An Shuai once stated that after coaching Real Madrid, he chose to retire. An Shuai's contract was renewed until 2026, which is a joint victory for Real Madrid and An Shuai, and Brazil's dream is shattered.
