Carlo Ancelotti has announced his decision to retire at Real Madrid, once his tenure with them is over. The legendary Italian has helped them win two Champions League titles already, and could guide them to their third on June 1, with the finals set against Dortmund.
The veteran has been linked with the Brazil national team in the past and with Reims more recently, but has declared his commitment to Real Madrid publicly now.

“I will retire as Real Madrid manager but first I want another Champions League. My career will finish at Real Madrid. As long as Real Madrid want me to stay, I will be here available for the club,” Carlo Ancelotti told Repubblica.
The 64-year-old still has two more years left on his deal with Real Madrid, and given his exceptional man management skills, he is expected to stay and oversee the transition at the club. Ancelotti is the only manager with all five major European league titles, and could become the first in history to win five Champions League titles this weekend.
Ancelotti has had an unparalleled career, and his decision to go out at the top underlines how highly he values Real Madrid, among all the big names he has managed over the years.
