Ancelotti's Departure from Real Madrid
Following Real Madrid's recent losses in key competitions, including the Champions League, Copa del Rey, and LaLiga, Ancelotti's departure from the club was confirmed. He will conclude his tenure at Madrid after the final league game against Real Sociedad. The Italian coach, known for his successful stints at Madrid, will take on a new challenge with Brazil, becoming the team's first foreign head coach.
Successes at Real Madrid
Ancelotti's legacy at Real Madrid includes three Champions League titles and two LaLiga triumphs.
