Carlo Ancelotti, who will manage his final match with Real Madrid this Saturday, has shared a heartfelt farewell letter on social media, just after the club officially announced his departure.

The legendary Italian coach concludes his second spell at the helm of Los Blancos as the most successful manager in the club’s history, leaving behind a glittering legacy that spans across two memorable tenures—2013 to 2015, and again from 2021 to 2025.

During his time with the Spanish giants, Ancelotti secured an extraordinary haul of trophies: 3 UEFA Champions League titles, 2 La Liga titles, 2 Copa del Rey trophies, 2 Club World Cups, 1 Intercontinental Cup, 3 UEFA Super Cups and 2 Spanish Super Cups.

He led the team in 352 official matches, with a record of 249 wins, 50 draws, and 53 losses. Under his guidance, Real Madrid scored 832 goals and conceded 341.

Ancelotti now shares the club record of three Champions League wins with Zinedine Zidane and ranks second only to Miguel Muñoz in total matches coached. He also leaves as the manager with the most Copa del Rey and UEFA Super Cup titles in club history, and ties for the most Spanish Super Cups.

In his farewell message, Ancelotti expressed deep gratitude:

"Today we part ways again. Once again, I carry with me in my heart every moment of this wonderful second stint as Real Madrid manager. They have been unforgettable years, an incredible journey filled with emotions, titles, and, above all, the pride of representing this club.

Thanks to President Florentino Pérez, the club, my players, my staff, and, above all, to this unique fan base that has always made me feel like one of them. What we've achieved together will forever remain in the memory of Real Madrid fans, not only for the triumphs, but for the way we achieved them. The magical nights at the Bernabéu are now part of football history.

Now a new adventure begins, but my bond with Real Madrid is eternal. See you soon, Real Madrid fans. Hala Madrid and Nothing Else."

As Ancelotti prepares for his final bow at the Santiago Bernabéu, he leaves with the love and respect of the entire Madridista family—an icon whose legacy will resonate for generations.
