He has enough credit in the bank and he's leaving at the end of the season i thought anyway.
If they finish 8th and win the Copa Del Rey, they may think about giving him a new contract.

I find it baffling that he has won the CL
He isn't the manager you need for a rebuild.
Ancelotti with this team wouldn’t do shit. It’d be better than this, but it wouldn’t be much better.
Wait until you find out he’s done it not once but five times!
Barca easily could have scored a couple more so the scoreline might have ended up something like 7-0. Surely they can't accept that kind of embarrassing results against their biggest rivals?
He's the type of short term solution to get the best out of a squad you've already stupidly paid hundreds of millions on. This isnt so much a rebuild needed currently as to find someone who could have us scoring more than 7 goals in 9 matches.
And mostly with performances that wouldn't look out of place in Everton
I'd take 7-0's every season if it meant winning the Champions League and the Premier League.
I really hope Ancelotti and Simeone get the sack. I can't stand their football anymore.
Real had chances also. It wasn't quite a 7-0 at Anfield or 5-0 (Ole) at Old Trafford.
(1.48 xG) vs (2.48 xG)
4 big chances vs 6 big chances
Real were unlucky with a few offsides as well. Barcelona deserved the win, but it was almost one of those near perfect nights. Apart from Lewandowski hitting the post, almost everything went in. Practically very offside trap worked. Perfect storm.
Ancelotti will likely lose his job at some stage this season. Life will go on for Real Madrid. They'll hire a new manager and go again.
Surely you'd not want to get embarrassed by your biggest rivals? Who cares about winning trophies.
I'm only taking the piss by the way. The way some people go on about Real's high standards he should be getting sacked tonight. Doesn't matter how much credit he has in the bank. They got spanked with such a stacked team by their biggest rivals.
And yes, I'm trying to manifest the sacking because we can try to get him in. If we suck even after hiring him then we can safely say we are cursed.
You say that, but that’s pretty much what the 7-0 game was. They scored 7 goals from 8 shots.
Yup. Also the xG from both games was almost the same. Liverpool scored 7 goals from like 2.4 xG.
Not quite the same.
Liverpool had an xG of 2.78 vs our 0.82
They had 6 big chances (2 missed) vs our 2 (2 missed)
18 shots vs our 8. 15 shots inside our box.
We did okay in the 1st half. They battered us in the 2nd half. Ruthless finishing, yes.
First half I seem to remember we were the better team. Really didn’t deserve to be going in behind after that goal on the brink of half time. Then of course our heads dropped in typical fashion and we know what came next.
When did it really get baffling CL win x 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 or 5?
Exactly this squad is underachieving big time and we need a manager who can get the best out of them. The manager got his squad.
Sack him and then we can get him in.
We missed good chances, the Rashford half volley was a good one.
Yes
Well, He's only won 5.
I think Ancelotti thrives when he an experienced core and a well balanced team. He needs players who are either at or close to their peak in those areas, intelligent players who know how to play base on what the game requires.
This Madrid side is young, relatively unbalanced, with an inexperienced and relatively immature midfield, right now they probably need more structure and guidance. They don't have the experience to pick-up the Kroos/Modric mantle to give that consistent base week in week out.
He only got 1 opportunity to win a CL at Bayern.
You got knocked out by the best version of Zidane's Real Madrid teams. No shame. That was a special Real team.
Juventus is the only real failure out of all of Ancelotti's spells at big clubs.
He was my pick to replace SAF. Might aswel be proven right. Even though it took a while...
I would take him in a heartbeat until the end of the season at least. Perfect caretaker material.
It's not a young Real side though.
Bellingham is 21, but is hugely experienced. He's played almost 40 CL games already. A key player last season at the age of 20.
Güler and Endrick are the only two inexperienced players.
They should have looked to bring in a CM with a similar profile to Kroos. That was a mistake. Even then, they have a technician in Ceballos if they wanted more control in midfield.
It's normal for teams to decline after a 2-3 year cycle. They've played 3 grueling seasons in a row. Some players might not be as hungry as they were. It happened to Rijkaard's Barcelona. Pep's Barcelona weren't as good during his final season. Real did a 3peat under Zidane and then had a terrible season following it. It's standard.
Barcelona have the hunger and energy that a new manager bounce usually brings.
He's said before he'll retire when he's done with Real Madrid, I do not think babysitting us would be tempting enough to change his mind on that.
Who needs a rebuild we have quality players, we need someone to bring ut out. He's perfect to get us back to where we need to be
It's still a young team, so many of them are 25 or under, like I said he does better when he has a core group of experienced players.
There's also not a player out there who could replace Kroos. The rest of their midfield aside from Modric just doesn't have the experience of playing together to perform consistently as a unit. They had Modric & Kroos dictating everything for 10 years and no one else really got a look in, now these guys need time to build and gel together.
They probably should have gone for Olmo though.
Not exactly young but, especially with the midfield runners Madrid have, Kimmich would be the perfect replacement in terms of distributing the ball from deep and creating scoring opportunities.
He's not getting sacked mid-season, but he wouldn't be a good fit for us.
Ancelotti's the manager you hire when your team is the finished article.
Ancelotti's the manager you hire when your team is the finished article.
You don't judge experience by age alone. Bellingham, Vinícius and Mbappé have played over 1000 career games between them. Camavinga is 22 soon and has already played in 2 CL finals and made 150 career appearances for Real Madrid.
Most of the Real squad are very experienced.
Courtois (32)
Mendy (29)
Alaba (32)
Vázquez (33)
Carvajal (32)
Militão (26)
Rüdiger (31)
Valverde (26)
Ceballos (28)
Modrić (39)
Olmo is a final third player. He wouldn't give them help with buildup play like Kroos did. They have that kind of profile in Brahim who scored 12 goals last season. They could have brought in Zieliński on a free from Napoli. Kimmich would have been attainable from Bayern. Perfect replacement once he has legs around him, which he would have had in Tchouaméni, Camavinga and Valverde. A bit like when Juve signed Pirlo from Milan and put Vidal, Marchisio and Pogba around him.
I just replied to him now without seeing your post. Fully agree. Kimmich + legs around him could still be class.
Pirlo proved that at Juventus when Milan thought he was finished.
To be fair though, imagine adding United to that CV. Has anyone got a better one if he did?
You don't just judge experience by age and then list a load of layers by age....
It's a combination of age/maturity and match experience and how a player puts all that together within their own game and as part of the team. 21 with 150 games is nothing, 1000 games between 4 players means nothing when they don't even have 100 games played together.
Mbappe’s ruined them.
Not that I had any logic to it, but I thought he’d do poorly there (obviously we can’t write him off yet but so far it’s going that way)
They needed Haaland not Mbappe.
