Carlo Ancelotti replaces Zidane as Real Madrid manager.

(NLĐO) - Real Madrid has overlooked strong candidates such as Mauricio Pochettino, Antonio Conte, and Max Allegri, surprisingly appointing Carlo Ancelotti as head coach.

Early on June 2nd, Real Madrid's official website announced the appointment of Italian strategist Carlo Ancelotti as their new head coach. Spanish media confirmed that the 61-year-old coach will be offered a three-year contract, but the salary has not yet been disclosed.

By accepting the offer to rejoin Real Madrid, Ancelotti officially parted ways with Everton and the Premier League after just 18 months, even though his contract with the Goodison Park club was still valid until 2024. Real Madrid will be responsible for paying the contract termination fee, which is expected to be relatively reasonable.

Everton's performance under Ancelotti hasn't been as good as expected. In the second half of the 2019-2020 season, the team finished only 12th when Ancelotti replaced Marco Silva. And last season, they finished 10th, failing to qualify for European competition.

Carlo Ancelotti has become a part of Real Madrid's history.

Just days after La Liga ended, Zinedine Zidane immediately announced his departure, and the question of who would take over as Real Madrid's head coach became a hot topic. A host of strong candidates were mentioned, including Max Allegri, Antonio Conte, Mauricio Pochettino, Raul Gonzalez, and Xaibi Alonso... But ultimately, Real Madrid's leadership and president Florentino Perez decided to choose Ancelotti.

Carlo Ancelotti managed Real Madrid from 2013 to 2015.

The Italian manager is no stranger to Real Madrid fans, as well as to most of the players who are still wearing the Royal team's jersey.

Carlo Ancelotti helped "Los Blancos" end their 12-year trophy drought in European competitions with the Champions League title in the 2013-2014 season. Coming from behind to defeat their city rivals Atletico Madrid 4-1 in the final, Real Madrid completed their "Decima" (10th Champions League title), ushering in a new golden era in the club's history.

Also in that season, Real Madrid won the Copa del Rey, as well as the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup in the second half of 2014. The following season, 2014-2015, saw the "White Eagles" fail to win any trophies, which led to the departure of this experienced strategist.

The dismissal of him at that time by president Florentino Perez was fiercely opposed by star players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos, and Karim Benzema. Real Madrid's win rate in those two seasons reached 75%, not to mention Ancelotti's ability to effectively manage a team full of stars and diverse personalities like Real Madrid, and his good relationship with the players.

Ancelotti leaves Everton.

Ancelotti subsequently managed Bayern Munich and Napoli before accepting the job at Everton in December 2019.

By accepting the offer to return to manage Real Madrid, Ancelotti immediately had the opportunity to work with top-level football once again, but with a very challenging task: to help the team regain its leading position in both La Liga and European competitions.
