Carlo Ancelotti at Roma next season: there is one hopeful factor
Roma, Ancelotti nuovo tecnico: perché i tifosi possono sognare, un fattore fa sperare – SerieAnews
Carlo Ancelotti is undoubtedly the most successful Italian coach in activity. One can hardly fail to be impressed in front of his palmares: suffice it to say that he was the first coach to win the national title in Europe’s top 5 leagues, but he is also unsurprisingly called the “King of Cups.”
As many as five Champions Leagues in his trophy cabinet, two with AC Milan and three with Real Madrid, the last lifted to the sky last June. Ancelotti will also remain in the history of the Spanish club for having brought the “Décima” to Valdebebas, which had become a taboo. National Cups and Super Cups aside, he has also won five UEFA Super Cups, three Club World Cups and an Intercontinental Cup raised to the sky a few months ago.
It goes without saying that with such a palmares, he is coveted internationally but he is also currently armored by Real Madrid. A recently renewed contract expiring on June 30, 2026, which, however, may not even be fulfilled.
Roma, Ancelotti ore contate al Real Madrid?
In Real Madrid one is forced to win almost all the time, and despite the fact that the merengues are currently first in La Liga, there has been no shortage of criticism of the coach for some underachievement. There had even been speculation of his exoneration, despite the fact that the alibi of injuries was really huge for Ancelotti, who has to manage a squad mowed down by problems.

The Champions League play-off against Manchester City is already a pivotal juncture for the Merengues, who will have to challenge Guardiola in order to gain access to the round of 16 after mixed performances in the group. Indeed, in the event of elimination and concomitant failure to win the league, Real Madrid’s management could also decide to terminate its relationship with Ancelotti at the end of the season in order to target another coach.
A hypothesis not to be discarded at all, as well as that of renewal considering how strong the bond between the coach from Reggiolo and Florentino Pérez is. Extremely interested in the situation regarding the coach is Roma. The Giallorossi club now has in Claudio Ranieri its guide but the Testaccio technician is only a ferryman.
Having arrived at Roma’s bedside just +4 above the relegation zone, he is getting things back on track and climbing the standings to the tune of excellent results. At the end of the season, however, he will leave the bench and join the management ranks. And he is personally working on his succession, hunting for an experienced and renowned technician.

Ancelotti certainly represents a guarantee. It is certainly nothing new, moreover, that the name of the coach from Reggiolo is being approached by Roma. After all, in his playing career Ancelotti has worn the Giallorossi jersey and has never hidden an eye for the Trigoria-based club.

Precisely because of the coach’s caliber, however, Roma is not the only club that would like him under contract. The Brazilian Football Federation is also waiting for him: as early as last summer, his future as CT of the Seleçao was looming before the renewal with Real Madrid came.
And now CBF has come forward again, with the original offer still valid. In South America, however, they will not wait too long, and so from Brasilia they have already informed the coach’s entourage how the deadline set is by the end of May. A date that probably might not even be enough for Ancelotti, considering how the first edition of the Club World Cup will kick off in mid-June.
Hence Roma’s advantage: the Giallorossi could even wait beyond that date as opposed to the Brazilian Football Federation and put the coach under contract. The time factor, never more than in this case, could be decisive.
