Real Madrid Decides Ancelotti Future After Meetings, Reports MARCA

Real Madrid's board, led by president Florentino Perez, has decided Carlo Ancelotti's immediate future following recent meetings according to MARCA, which cited anonymous sources.

Madrid manager Ancelotti is worried and under fire following two heavy back-to-back home defeats in recent weeks.

Los Blancos could have undone some of the damage done by a 0-4 chastening at the hands of bitter rival FC Barcelona with a statement win over Ancelotti's former employers AC Milan in the Champions League.

On the contrary, however, the Italians outclassed their hosts in the Bernabeu on Tuesday to come out 3-1 winners, with Ancelotti widely-criticized by fans and a pair of club legends.

According to MARCA, however, there was a meal at the Valdebebas headquarters with Perez and Ancelotti present following the thrashing in El Clasico, which served as a platform for the former to convey calm.

And while after the match against Milan there was "greater displeasure", another meeting reportedly took place where it was asked for the team react without the board having to make hasty decisions.

It seems that Ancelotti will continue for now, as "an unthinkable situation for everyone" when Kylian Mbappe only arrived in July - such as the manager who won a treble last term being dismissed - isn't on the menu despite previous mid-season firings in the past suffered by the likes of Rafa Benitez and Julen Lopetegui to name a couple.

Ancelotti has credit in the bank because of his past achievements, which include record-extending 36th and 15th La Liga and Champions League conquests less than six months ago.

Though it has been difficult to create a system that can include Mbappe while also compensating for the loss of Toni Kroos in midfield, reinforcements can be made in the winter transfer market for the first time in five years, which is when Flamengo flop Reinier arrived touted as the next big talent from Brazil in early 2020.

Ancelotti can turn things round through positive results that will also prevent any decision-making on his future being rushed. And with a contract until June 30, 2026, he continues to enjoy support from within a club which SPORT linked to trying to hire Bayer Leverkusen tactician Xabi Alonso next summer.
