- Real Madrid is reportedly looking at managerial replacements as pressure continues to mount on Carlo Ancelotti.
- Ancelotti is yet to carve out a working formula for new signing Kylian Mbappé and the rest of the squad.
- A section of fans are now calling for his dismissal after the big defeats to Barcelona and AC Milan at Santiago Bernabeu.
Carlo Ancelotti’s place as Real Madrid’s manager is reportedly becoming untenable after a serious dip in form in recent weeks. The veteran Italian manager is under fire for failing to make his galaxy of stars produce the desired results.
- Real Madrid has struggled to accommodate their summer marquee signing Kylian Mbappé.
- The Frenchman has cut a frustrated figure playing as the number 9, while Vinícius Jr. continues to take his ideal position on the left wing.
Is Kylian Mbappé struggling at Real Madrid? Los Blancos have suffered back-to-back damaging defeats at Santiago Bernabeu, bringing into question Ancelotti’s long-term future at the club.
No matter how this season ends, this should be Carlo Ancelotti’s final season at Real Madrid. He has taken Real Madrid as far as he could. There is nothing more he can do. He should just accept this and respectfully resign.

After a humbling 4-0 loss to Barcelona in La Liga, followed by a 3-1 defeat to AC Milan in the Champions League, Real Madrid finds itself nine points behind Barcelona in the league standings—though with fewer games played.
The pressing issue for Carlo Ancelotti is the team’s tactical imbalance, a challenge highlighted by Lucas Vazquez’s recent comments.
“Defending and attacking are collective efforts, and we need to give much more if we want to start winning games,” he told Marca, emphasizing the need for unity on both ends of the pitch.
🚨 Real Madrid would be willing to prioritise Kylian Mbappé over Vinicius Jr and play him on the left-wing.
Their sporting project is planned around Mbappé rather than Vini.

Who Could Succeed Ancelotti at Real Madrid?
According to Sportskeeda, Real Madrid is eyeing potential mid-season interim replacements for Carlo Ancelotti, with club legends Raúl Gonzalez and Santiago Solari on the shortlist.
Raúl, currently managing Real Madrid Castilla (the B team), has been considered despite a challenging season, with Castilla managing only nine points from 11 league games.
Both Raúl and Solari bring a deep understanding of the club’s culture, though the decision may hinge on finding someone who can reignite Madrid’s form without disrupting the long-term vision.
Which managers are available?

Ancelotti Points the Finger at Mbappé for Real Madrid’s Woes
TRENDYNEWS.co.ke has reported that Real Madrid’s boss, Carlo Ancelotti, is allegedly zeroing in on one star player as the root cause of the team’s struggles this season.
According to inside sources, Ancelotti believes the squad’s tactical imbalance boils down to none other than Kylian Mbappé and his reluctance to contribute defensively.
The superstar’s limited work rate off the ball may be dazzling on the highlight reel, but it’s reportedly leaving the rest of the team to pick up the slack, creating a ripple effect that could be disrupting Real Madrid’s usual dominance.
