Dani Carvajal Backs Ancelotti Amid Real Madrid Exit Rumors
Despite Carlo Ancelotti seemingly nearing the end of his time at Real Madrid, the dressing room continues to stand firmly behind the Italian coach. One of the clearest voices of support has been Dani Carvajal, who made it known that both he and his teammates remain committed to their manager until the season's end.
In recent weeks, especially after the painful defeat to FC Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final (3-2 after extra time), speculation about Ancelotti’s departure has intensified. Reports suggest that the Italian has already reached an agreement with the Brazilian national team to take over as head coach once his time with Madrid comes to an end.
Carvajal: “We’re with him until the end”
However, beyond the rumors, the squad's loyalty to Ancelotti remains unshaken. Speaking outside Valdebebas, the team’s training center, Carvajal said: “Whether he stays or not isn’t up to me. That’s for the club to decide. But we’re with him until the end.” The right-back made it clear that the coach still has the full support of the locker room.
The Spanish international also criticized the negative press surrounding Ancelotti: “I don’t think his work should be questioned, especially after all he’s given us. He deserves more respect,” he added. And the numbers back him up. Since returning to Madrid in 2021, the coach has won every possible title, with 15 trophies in total across his two spells, including three Champions League titles, two of them in his current tenure.
Carlo Ancelotti has cemented his legacy as the most decorated manager in the club’s history. If his departure is confirmed at the end of the season, the Santiago Bernabéu is expected to pay a proper tribute to his incredible contribution.

Meanwhile, the team still has business to handle. With four matchdays left in LaLiga, Real Madrid is four points behind Barcelona and hoping to mount a final comeback to bid their manager farewell with one last trophy. A potential victory in the upcoming Clásico could be the key to pulling off a dramatic ending.
