With a crucial El Clásico and the upcoming Club World Cup on the horizon, the timing of the current situation couldn’t be more problematic. Doubts are surfacing within the club about whether Ancelotti is fully committed to his role. Frustration is mounting, as some inside the organization question how he can effectively drive the team toward the title while seemingly dividing his attention between Madrid and the Brazilian national team.
Concerns over Ancelotti’s future reportedly began during Real Madrid’s Champions League quarter-final clash with Arsenal. Rather than concentrating on tactics and preparations, internal discussions increasingly focused on whether he would remain or depart.
Tensions rose further when Diego Rodrigues, a CBF representative, was seen at several high-profile matches — including those against Arsenal and Barcelona — fueling speculation and unease among both staff and players.
Sources within Valdebebas acknowledge that trust and cohesion have taken a hit. While the team still aims to end the season with determination and pride, the possibility of Ancelotti’s sudden departure remains a real concern.
Despite these distractions, Real Madrid must stay focused, especially as they trail Barcelona by four points in the La Liga race.
