Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti talks about his future following the loss to Manchester City.

Following an embarrassing defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League semi-final, Carlo Ancelotti spoke about his future again, shutting down talks of a possible exit. 

The 67-year-old led Real Madrid to a Champions League and LaLiga double last season, two trophies Los Blancos will fail to lift this season, losing by a vast point margin to Barcelona and by a big scoreline to Manchester City.

Still, Ancelotti believes he is the man for the job and looks forward to coaching Real Madrid to trophies next season. 

What Ancelotti said

The former Everton boss was speaking after the club crashed out of the Champions League when he answered questions on his future.  

He assured that the club's leadership still has faith in him and that he will be in the dugout to lead the defending champions in another campaign next season. 

"The idea is to fight to compete as did last season and this season in the Champions League," he said, per the BBC.

"Until now we did well, we have to accept the defeat, you cannot always win, and through the defeat try to be better next season."

“No one doubts me. I think the president was very clear 15 days ago — this is a step to improve for next year.

“Next season I will be here to fight to win another Champions League.”

Meanwhile, Manchester City star Bernardo Silva, elated after the victory over Real Madrid, heaps praise on his team and their mental strength to overcome a difficult rival.
