Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is under pressure after a series of disappointing results, with his future at the club on the line if they fail in the Champions League.

Ancelotti Faces Real Madrid Sack Threat if Champions League Hopes Fail

Carlo Ancelotti is facing growing uncertainty over his future at Real Madrid. Despite a relatively successful stint, the team's poor performances this season have put the Italian coach's job in jeopardy. Real Madrid’s loss to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup, where they were defeated 5-2, has sparked serious doubts over Ancelotti’s ability to lead the team forward.

The pressure has been mounting on the coach, and sources close to the club have revealed that his future depends heavily on the team’s performance in the UEFA Champions League. Following disappointing results in La Liga, the club’s management has reportedly warned that if the team fails to progress to the knockout stages of the prestigious tournament, Ancelotti could face dismissal.

The decision to potentially remove Ancelotti comes after the club’s struggles to match the high expectations set by their previous seasons. Despite having one of the strongest squads in Europe, Real Madrid’s recent defeats, particularly in major competitions, have left the club’s leadership questioning whether the coach can deliver the results required.

Real Madrid's management has not made a final decision, but they are closely monitoring Ancelotti’s performance in the upcoming fixtures. If the team fails to secure qualification for the Champions League knockout rounds, it’s expected that Ancelotti’s tenure at the club will come to an end.

As the transfer window progresses, it remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will stick with their current coach or seek a change in leadership. For Ancelotti, the next few weeks could determine whether he stays at the club or becomes the latest high-profile managerial casualty in European football.
