The best coach of 2024 spoke freely in front of the press this Sunday. In a press conference after the 4-2 victory over Sevilla FC, Carlo Ancelotti addressed his future ahead of the new year, 2025.
It’s official, Real Madrid has just played its last match of 2024. Facing Sevilla FC this Sunday in the 18th round of La Liga, Florentino Pérez’s club didn’t miss the opportunity. In a packed Santiago Bernabéu, Kylian Mbappé and his teammates managed Sevilla’s team perfectly. After goals from the French striker, Federico Valverde’s golazo, and two exquisite assists from Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz, the Madrid side earned the last three points of the year and officially moved ahead of Barça, who suffered a bitter loss to Atlético Madrid on Saturday night.
Carletto’s comments after Sevilla
After the match, KM9 spoke to the press. Happy with his form at the end of the year, the French striker promised even more for the Madrid fans in 2025. Like several Real Madrid players on Sunday, Carlo Ancelotti also shared his thoughts with the press. Delighted after his team’s controlled victory, the 65-year-old coach revealed that he had spoken to his players to straighten things out after a low point between October and early November.
“After the defeat against Milan, the team clearly talked about the problems. And we solved them,” he first mentioned before adding: “We have improved our ability to build from the back, which creates more chances for our attackers, and they have been very effective.”
“The club never showed me any concern”
Now calm before the Christmas break, Carlo Ancelotti shared that he had never been put under pressure by Florentino Pérez and his staff when things were not going well. Contrary to the claims from some Iberian media suggesting that he was under pressure, the former Bayern Munich coach stated that he had always felt supported by the club’s leadership.
“The club never showed me any concern. They have always shown affection, calm, and tranquillity. This is what a coach needs in difficult times. I trust them, and they have been very clear with me.” It’s clear now: Carlo Ancelotti, who knows how to manage his players well, is on track to finish the current season and even go beyond 2025.
After Sunday’s match, Real Madrid will take a short break and return on January 3 against Valencia. Well before this postponed match from the 12th round of La Liga, Vinicius Junior, Federico Valverde, and their teammates will return to training on December 30.
