REAL MADRID: Ancelotti Gets Unofficial Sack Notice Tip

Though he has yet to sit down with Florentino Pérez or José Ángel Sánchez, word has reached Carlo Ancelotti's camp that the coach won't be kept on at Real Madrid.

The Italian tactician has taken the news in his stride, accepting that this is how the cookie crumbles in the football business. He won't put up any resistance when it comes to rescinding the year left on his contract and his only regret is at not being able to finish the job he started two seasons ago.


The Bernabéu will get the chance to bid farewell to the manager who delivered 'La Décima' during the game against Getafe, albeit Ancelotti will be in a box rather than the dugout because of his touchline ban. The former Reggiana, Parma, Juventus, Milan, Chelsea and PSG boss expects to be personally informed about his fate by the club president either after the match or on Sunday.

No firm decision has been reached about Ancelotti's replacement. Rafa Benítez remains the frontrunner but Florentino isn't completely sold yet and will take a close interest in the crowd's reactions during the Getafe encounter.
