Real Madrid supremo Florentino Perez has given Carlo Ancelotti a vote of confidence and told the media the Italian will remain in charge even if Los Blancos lose to Barcelona.
Following a slump in form in recent weeks, questions have started to be raised about how long more Ancelotti will remain in charge, with many media outlets unsure as to whether he will still be in the dugout at the Santiago Bernabeu next season.
Perez held a press confidence on Thursday to dispel any stories that he’ll get rid of Ancelotti, and said much of the what has been written in the press is mischief making.
“I have come here to talk to you because there is a climate of great pressure. The greatness of this club is the high demands we place on ourselves I and will not have our name tarnished when we are not going through our best moment,” he said.
And he added: “The attacks aimed at our coach and our players are wholly unfair. The club has complete confidence in our coach and in our players. Whatever happens, Carlo Ancelotti will continue to be coach of Real Madrid.”
He reminded reporters that all the success achieved by the club last season was under the guidance of Ancelotti, and the former PSG and Chelsea boss will remain in charge.
“Real Madrid had never won four titles in a calendar year, so this coach and these players form part of the history of this club. All of that was achieved by them. We need to be together and stay serene ahead of the challenges that lie ahead.”
