Ancelotti retreated before the contract expired. (Expand) Xinhua News Agency reported that 66-year-old Ancelotti turned around again. Even if the lights at the Bernabeu Stadium were bright, they could not illuminate his way forward. Two days ago, he negotiated with Real Madrid to terminate the contract and would leave the Bernabeu, which he had been there for four years this summer. Anshu originally planned to travel across the ocean to coach the Brazilian national team, but his old club went back on his word, which put the plan on the ground.

When Real Madrid lost one after another in the Spanish Super League, Champions League and the King's Cup, and were always one position behind Barcelona in La Liga, An Shuai's fate was already destined. Real Madrid executives refused to examine any flawed works with connoisseurs, even if the creator had brought them three Champions League trophys. Competitive sports are so cruel.

After the end of the Copa del Rey in Spain last weekend, Ancelotti, who lost the championship, told his disciples in the locker room that he would not coach the team again.

This news is not sudden and the players can accept it because they were killed by Barcelona this season and no one believes that the head coach will be left behind after losing the Champions League, Super Cup and King's Cup.

This is Real Madrid's tradition. Since its establishment, this club with a long history has been determined to stand at the top of the world football world. They are not afraid of failure and can quickly turn the bow after failure and drive in another direction. As the "captain" who commands the "Galaxy Battleship", there are almost no precedents for the successive Real Madrid head coaches.

Zidane in 2018 is an exception. In the early summer of that year, he led the team to an unprecedented "three consecutive championships" and drove into a fast lane where no one could catch up and surpass. At this peak moment, Zidane clearly realized that Ronaldo's departure and the slackness after the players reached the top would inevitably make Real Madrid reach a trough. Therefore, he voluntarily resigned at the press conference after the final, with a great spirit of a knight who "did the matter go away, and he hides his merits and fame." Sure enough, Lopetegui, who took office, was unable to control the "Galaxy Battleship". He announced his class was dismissed after only more than two months of coaching. Zidane, who was willing to retire, had no choice but to come out again, but his record was still not good. The Real Madrid executives who did not knead the sand in their eyes did not take into account Zidane's face as a meritorious coach, and let Ancelotti replace him.

If Ancelotti "goes away" last summer, he will become a true legend like Zidane in 2018. But he didn't. He had already renewed his contract for three years in 2023 and chose to continue working. Ancelotti, who was 65 years old at the time, was actually much wiser than his disciple Zidane. Whether he was missing this indescribable position or greedy for the annual salary of 11 million euros, no one knew the answer. Ancelotti became another person on the list of coaches dismissed by Real Madrid.
