This Thursday, the Spanish press did not spare Real Madrid after their 2-0 defeat by Liverpool in the Champions League.
While Kylian Mbappé was singled out for criticism, Carlo Ancelotti was directly involved in the turmoil. According to Marca, the Italian coach has scheduled a meeting with club president Florentino Pérez to discuss the crisis rocking Los Merengues.
Meanwhile, Cadena COPE has revealed some disturbing information about Ancelotti’s future. Speaking on COPE’s El Partidazo program, journalist Roberto Morales claimed that the Italian coach was under threat. In particular, he declared:
“Why do we see Ancelotti sending such an unusual message in press conferences? He highlighted his CV, something he rarely does. Instead of taking on the negative, he only talks about the positive. From the inside, I’m told that, a few weeks ago, Santiago Solari was told to stand by. This message reached Ancelotti, which annoyed him greatly.”
Solari, a former Real Madrid coach who is currently available, failed to convince during his previous stints in charge of the national team. However, he now looks set to take over if necessary. His name had already been floated a few days ago, but this rumour is gaining momentum, putting even more pressure on Carlo Ancelotti.
