In a stunning development, Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that he will leave his position as head coach of Real Madrid at the conclusion of the current season.
Ancelotti, who has led the team to remarkable success since taking over in 2021, including a UEFA Champions League title and a La Liga championship, has made the decision to part ways with the Spanish giants after a distinguished tenure.
