The France international is being wanted by Spanish giants Real Madrid, but Mbappe has not made the final decision on his future at Paris Saint-Germain.

Ancelotti’s Real Madrid management style questioned, fans make fun of his reluctance to make changes

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Carlo Ancelotti has one of the toughest coaching roles in football as the coach of Real Madrid.

The Los Blancos boss is constantly in the spotlight and his recent decisions have shone that spotlight even more so on him.

Real Madrid beat Deportivo Alaves in La Liga last night, Soccer Laduma reported, but Ancelotti’s reluctance to make any substitutions had many fans questioning his decision. Ancelotti only brought his first substitute after the 80th minute, once Real Madrid had gone 2-0 up.

Ancelotti has a track record of not trusting some of his players that much, opting to leave them on the bench no matter how bad the team is performing on the field.
