Game over for Carlo Ancelotti! Date set for when Real Madrid boss is expected to LEAVE as catastrophic Champions League exit costs Italian his job

Copa del Rey

Barcelona

Real Madrid

<p>Ancelotti's time at Real Madrid appears to be drawing to a close following their crushing Champions League quarter-final defeat at the hands of Arsenal. The Spanish giants were sent packing after a<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/carlo-ancelotti-arsenal-win-champions-league-angry-real-madrid-fans-demand-immediately-sacked/blt2c0850c48eb38463" target="_blank"> 2-1 loss at the Santiago Bernabéu on Wednesday night,</a> which sealed their elimination from Europe's elite competition. The defeat not only stunned the Madrid faithful but also cast a dark cloud over <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-boss-mikel-arteta-hails-pep-guardiola-champions-league-semi-final-spot-man-city-real-madrid/blt4a6f7968a14e0e8f" target="_blank">Ancelotti’s future with the club.</a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Ancelotti did little to ease speculation post-match, acknowledging that his position was uncertain. Now, according to a report from <a href="https://x.com/SkySportsNews/status/1912822693352579398" target="_blank"><em>Sky Sports,</em></a> <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/thibaut-courtois-questions-real-madrid-crossing-tactics-5-1-champions-league-aggregate-defeat-arsenal/bltea032851698c6a40" target="_blank">Ancelotti is now expected to part ways</a> with the club after next weekend’s Copa del Rey final clash against arch-rivals Barcelona. The timing of the anticipated departure is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/declan-rice-arsenal-real-madrid-comeback-england-consecutive-player-of-the-match-awards-champions-league-tie/blt845cc8892d2cde25" target="_blank">significant as the summit clash</a> could be the last opportunity for Ancelotti to salvage a piece of silverware this season.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Ancelotti’s next destination could be international football, with Brazil reportedly keen to bring him on board as their new head coach. A representative from the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/carlo-ancelotti-time-real-madrid-up-winners-losers-arsenal-expose-basic-tactics-declan-rice-dominates-champions-league-cursed-kylian-mbappe/blta857f84be59c8111" target="_blank">CBF was seen in the stands</a> at the Bernabeu during Madrid’s loss to Arsenal, fueling speculation that talks are moving forward.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>As Real Madrid prepare for a potential managerial transition, the spotlight is now shifting to who might replace Ancelotti in the dugout. Several names have already surfaced in connection with the job, including former Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp and current Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso. The German, who is currently the Head of Global Football Operations at Red Bull, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jurgen-klopp-back-dugout-ex-liverpool-boss-open-approach-real-madrid-brazil-unhappy-red-bull-role/blt6862109ecf64ae70" target="_blank">would bring experience and charisma</a> to the Bernabeu, while Alonso, a former Madrid midfielder, has quickly made a name for himself as one of the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/xabi-alonso-s-future-decided-bayer-leverkusen-chief-reveals-coach-statement-future-real-madrid-links/blte001e20ed60a7648" target="_blank">brightest young managers in Europe. </a></p><p>There’s also the possibility that the club might temporarily promote from within. Santiago Solari, who previously served as interim boss, could once again be called upon to guide the team through the remainder of the campaign until a permanent successor is chosen.</p>
