Real Madrid’s insurance in the event of Ancelotti’s failure

After six years of separation, Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid have once again made common cause. Since his departure from the Santiago Bernabeu in 2015, the Italian coach has continued to occupy positions of responsibility in teams like Bayern Munich, Naples or Everton.

Meanwhile, the club chaired by Florentino Pérez signs for the next three seasons a coach with whom, in two seasons, he managed to win a Copa del Rey, a European Supercup, a Club World Cup and the very coveted “Decima”.

However, the task that awaits “Carletto” will be far from easy. With a blank season at one of the most successful clubs in the world and with many players well over their thirties, sooner or later some positions will have to change.

The fear clause?

Obviously, all Merengues supporters hope and wish this second stage to be a success for both parties, starting with Florentine himself. However, football is as volatile as it is changeable, and a string of bad results can send all of those previous illusions to the dustbin.

If that time comes, as advanced “AS”, the club of Real have decided to include in the contract of the Italian a clause by which, if you want to do without their services, would only have to pay the salary for the current season plus an additional season.

Break the cycle

The main objective of the transalpine tactician will undoubtedly be the title of champion. Although he won the C1, the title of champion is a trophy that escaped him during his previous visit to the Spanish capital, as he watched the two eternal rivals of the “Casa Blanca”, Atlético Madrid and FC Barcelona, get it.

There are already examples, within the institution itself, of coaches who won, during their second stint at the club, trophies that had escaped them at the start. After a modest tenth place with the Toffees in the Premier League, with players like James Rodríguez and Richarlison in the workforce, he will surely write in red the objective of doing well in the national competition.
