Ancelotti has also done the same, as when he was asked by reporters if he was in line to replace Claudio, he stated that he was happy at Real Madrid and wanted to continue stewarding Los Blancos.
Ancelotti’s contract with Real Madrid expires in the summer of 2026, and despite his advanced age and talks of a replacement, he said he still desires an extension beyond his current deal.
