Ancelotti and Perez to hold crisis talks amid Real Madrid’s poor form
Carlo Ancelotti, the head coach of Real Madrid, is set to have an important meeting with the club’s president, Florentino Perez, after the team’s recent struggles. Reports suggest the talks will focus on the team’s disappointing performances and their plans to recover.
Real Madrid has faced criticism from fans and football analysts over their inability to replicate their strong form from last season. Their recent 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League at Anfield has added to the pressure. This result leaves the team in 24th place on the Champions League table and at risk of not qualifying for the next round.
The poor results have put Ancelotti’s position under scrutiny. According to Marca, he will meet Perez ahead of Real Madrid’s La Liga match against Getafe at the Bernabeu on Sunday.
It is not unusual for the pair to meet during challenging periods, but the team’s current situation has made this discussion particularly important. They will reportedly review the causes of the struggles and discuss whether the Italian manager has the club’s full backing.
Real Madrid’s management believes the team is experiencing its toughest phase in five years. Key players, including Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, David Alaba, Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal, and Aurelien Tchouameni, are sidelined with injuries, while new signings like Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe have struggled for form.
The team’s fitness issues have also been questioned, with fitness coach Antonio Pintus facing criticism. The club attributes the injuries to a demanding schedule and lack of rest but acknowledges that their summer transfer activity might have fallen short.
Despite the setbacks, Ancelotti remains optimistic and continues to support his players. He is reportedly eager to turn things around and bring Real Madrid back to winning ways.
Sunday’s match against Getafe will be a key test for Ancelotti and his team as they aim to regain confidence and the trust of their fans.
