Ancelotti Contract: How Much Money Will Real Madrid Pay The Italian Who Won ‘La Decima’

As the race to replace Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid heats up, a new candidate has emerged and it’s a name that Los Blancos fans will recognise: Carlo Ancelotti. According to several reports in Spain on Tuesday, Real Madrid have decided to appoint Carlo Ancelotti as their new head coach. However, netizens have been curious to know how much the Italian is set to earn at the Spanish capital and whether he will quit Everton. 

Is a Carlo Ancelotti Real Madrid return on the cards?

According to reports from Spain news outlet AS, Real Madrid are set to appoint Carlo Ancelotti as a replacement for Zinedine Zidane, who resigned from the position last week. After a disappointing season that saw Real Madrid miss out on the LaLiga title while also limply crashing out of Europe at the semi-final stage, Zidane decided to draw curtains on his second spell in charge at the Spanish capital. However, Carlo Ancelotti could be on his way back to the Spanish powerhouse following a successful first spell at the helm.

Ancelotti, who is currently coaching Everton, has been the chosen one ahead of other candidates like Antonio Conte or Raul. The official announcement of Ancelotti’s Real Madrid could be made official “imminently”, as per reports. It is believed that Real Madrid want to name their new coach as soon as possible in order to start building the squad for the 2021-2022 season. It would be massive for Madrid to have their ‘La Decima’ general back in the dugout as they look to rebuild following a trophyless season.
