Don't expect 'godfather' Perez to change.

Florentino Perez has long been known for his uncompromising management style, particularly in his treatment of coaches.

Even if Carlo Ancelotti doesn't voluntarily resign as Real Madrid's head coach next month, it's hard to believe the Italian strategist will still be leading "Los Blancos" next season.

The end for Ancelotti.

Spanish media have confirmed that Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid immediately after the 2024/25 La Liga season ends, with Brazil being a potential destination. Having worked with Perez at the Bernabeu for almost a decade, Coach Ancelotti understands what awaits him after being eliminated from the Champions League and losing in the Copa del Rey final.

Under Perez's reign, the manager's seat at the Bernabeu was rarely secure, even for the best strategists. The case of Carlo Ancelotti, once considered a symbol of Real Madrid's success, is a clear example of Perez's ruthless dismissals, regardless of the manager's significant contributions.

According to Marca , Perez is preparing to meet with Ancelotti to discuss his future following Real's 2-3 defeat to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final. Although Ancelotti's contract runs until 2026, Real's parting ways with him at the end of the season seems inevitable.

Ancelotti is no stranger to Perez's methods. During his first stint at Real Madrid (2013-2015), he brought the club its tenth Champions League title (La Decima) in 2014, a milestone fans had been waiting for decades. However, just one year later, when the team failed to win any major trophies in the 2014/15 season, Perez sacked Ancelotti without hesitation.

Ancelotti's return in 2021 brought unexpected success, especially two Champions League titles despite the club not spending excessively in the past half-decade.

Despite being hailed as a legend, Ancelotti could not escape the fate that many of his predecessors had faced.

AS believes that Real Madrid will decide to terminate Ancelotti's contract in a respectful manner, paying him his full salary until 2026, and allowing him to remain a lifetime ambassador for the club.

While it may be honored with a farewell ceremony at the end of the season, this move doesn't hide the true nature of the decision: Ancelotti is no longer part of Perez's long-term plans, regardless of how much success the coach brought to Real in the past.

Perez and the philosophy of 'results above all'

Since taking over as president of Real Madrid in 2000 (and returning in 2009 after a brief hiatus), Perez has cultivated the image of an ambitious leader, placing extremely high expectations on immediate results.

For him, titles were not just a goal, but a mandatory requirement. Coaches, regardless of their illustrious resumes or impressive achievements, faced immense pressure: bring home glory or leave. The list of names Perez sacked or forced to leave includes Vicente del Bosque, Jupp Heynckes, Jose Mourinho, Rafael Benitez, and Zinedine Zidane.

Even Del Bosque, Heynckes, Mourinho, and Zidane—those who led Real Madrid to the pinnacle of success—could not escape Perez's wrath when results fell short of expectations.

Perez doesn't hesitate to change coaches even when the team has just won a title. Del Bosque, who led Real Madrid to the Champions League in 2002, was sacked just a year later because Perez believed he wasn't capable of maintaining the team's dominance.

Similarly, Heynckes left shortly after winning the European Cup in 1998, when Perez deemed his style lacking the "nobility" befitting Real Madrid's stature. This habit reflects Perez's philosophy: there is no room for temporary complacency, and past fame does not guarantee the future.

Although Ancelotti is praised for his ability to manage a star-studded squad and his moderate leadership style, these factors seem insufficient to meet Perez's ambitions in the current context. The defeat against Barcelona was not just a loss, but also seen as symbolic of the collapse of Real Madrid's image, with heavy criticism of the team's "thuggish" behavior.

Furthermore, inconsistent form in La Liga and the pressure from ever-increasing expectations have made Ancelotti a familiar scapegoat in Perez's philosophy: when the team falters, the coach pays the price.

It's worth noting that Ancelotti was once highly regarded by Perez for his composure and ability to unite the team, qualities that contributed to his success in his first tenure. However, in the high-level football environment of Real Madrid, Perez demands absolute results and trophies.

Furthermore, the arrival of Xabi Alonso, a former Real Madrid player and now a talented coach at Bayer Leverkusen, made it easier for Perez to make a decision.

Real Madrid and Perez have always been like this: an insatiable hunger for success, never satisfied with themselves. That's what has helped this businessman transform "Los Blancos" into one of the greatest clubs in the world .

With Xabi Alonso on the way, Real Madrid fans may soon witness a new chapter – but under Perez's leadership, no one can be sure how long that chapter will last.
