Ancelotti was able to balance a mixture of experienced stars and young talent as Madrid dominated last season and continued that great form this season as well.

With his contract expiring at the end of the 2023/24 seasons, much has been made of what Ancelotti will do next. The 63-year-old hinted before that he would retire once his time with Madrid ended.

He hinted at it once again when recently questioned about his future, Football Espana reported.

“What do I see? For this year and the next, Real Madrid. Then Madrid, and again Madrid. Then we’ll see,” he said.

Ancelotti also cheekily added that it was easy to be Madrid’s manager; all you had to do was win matches.

Ancelotti is currently in his second spell in charge of Madrid. Over the course of the two spells, he has been in charge for 185 games, Transfermarkt noted.

Of that 185, he has won 137 games, drawn 23 and only lost 25. Madrid have also scored 466 goals during those games. As coach of Madrid, he’s won the Champions League twice, La Liga once, the Spanish Cup once, and the Spanish Super Cup once. He’s also won the UEFA Super Cup twice.
