Carlo Ancelotti Set for Potential Retirement in Saudi Arabia After Real Madrid Exit

Carlo Ancelotti, one of the most respected managers in world football, may be considering a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia. The Italian tactician, currently under contract with Real Madrid until 2026, is rumored to be eyeing an exit as early as next summer. Sources close to the situation suggest that this could be his final season in charge of the Madrid giants.

Several Saudi Arabian clubs have reportedly approached Ancelotti, offering him the opportunity to finish his managerial career with a “golden” retirement deal. While the identity of the clubs remains undisclosed, one particular team has allegedly convinced Ancelotti to agree to a three-year mega contract. This offer could be too tempting for the veteran coach to refuse, providing him a chance to end his illustrious career in style.

Real Madrid’s Search for a Replacement

Although Real Madrid renewed Ancelotti’s contract when he was previously linked to the Brazilian national team, the club is aware that his time at the helm is limited. Florentino Pérez, the club’s president, has already started searching for a suitable replacement, with Xabi Alonso emerging as the top contender. Other potential candidates include Jurgen Klopp, though Alonso seems to be the preferred choice for the Madrid leadership.

Ancelotti’s departure would mark the end of a successful era at Real Madrid, and Saudi Arabia could soon welcome another footballing legend to its growing list of high-profile acquisitions.
