Real Madrid has officially confirmed that Carlo Ancelotti will step down as manager at the end of the 2024–25 season. The announcement comes shortly after Brazil’s national team confirmed Ancelotti’s appointment as their new head coach, bringing clarity to months of speculation about his future.

The Italian tactician will be honored in the coming days, culminating in a special farewell at the Santiago Bernabéu this weekend during Real Madrid’s final league match against Real Sociedad—his 353rd and final appearance on the Real Madrid bench.

Ancelotti departs as the most successful coach in the club’s history, having led Los Blancos through two highly decorated spells marked by Champions League triumphs, domestic dominance, and an enduring legacy built on class, calmness, and command. His ability to win and win with dignity has made him a beloved figure among fans, players, and staff alike.

The farewell to Carletto marks the end of an era at Real Madrid and opens the door to a new chapter—one expected to begin with Xabi Alonso as the club’s next head coach. For now, however, all eyes are on the weekend, when the Bernabéu faithful will say goodbye to a legend who has earned his place among the greatest managers in Real Madrid’s storied history.
