Recently, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said in an interview that coaching the national team is not in his personal plans, jokingly adding, “I’ll think about retirement when Real Madrid gets tired of me.”
Ancelotti spoke via video link at the Giffoni Film Festival in Salerno, an annual celebration that introduces children to the world of cinema. When asked if he had considered retirement, Ancelotti responded with his usual sense of humor and a raised eyebrow: “I don’t know when I’ll stop, maybe when Real Madrid gets tired of me, I’ll have to think about what to do next.”
There have been rumors about him becoming the manager of the Brazilian national team, and Italy, his home country, could also throw him a lifeline in the future. However, coaching a national team doesn’t seem to be in Ancelotti’s plans. He said: “I have a resistance towards the idea of becoming a national team coach, because I prefer the daily work at the club level.”
Ancelotti also commented on the recently concluded European Championship: “Spain deserved to win, they had more talent. It was a Euro with low intensity because the most talented players were already exhausted at the start of the tournament. Bellingham was a surprise, but he was born to be a champion. Training can improve and increase individual abilities, but you need champion genes to truly be a champion.”
Shifting the topic towards the club, the reporter asked Ancelotti if he had also faced failures, especially his short stints at Juventus, Napoli, and Everton. However, Ancelotti’s response was artistic: “Those were not failures, but experiences.”
So, what changes will there be in Real Madrid’s tactics and personnel after Mbappe joins? Ancelotti said: “Let’s see, I’ll find a place for him…”
