Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has said that his last game for the club will be a very emotional one this weekend.
This is coming after the Spanish club finally made his exit official, months after the Brazilian Football Confederation announced the Italian as its next manager for the national team.
Speaking via his social media page, Ancelotti said that he’ll cherish every minute he has spent at the club because he has enjoyed unforgettable, successful years.
Carlo revealed that it has been an incredible journey filled with emotions, trophies and the pride of representing the badge, and he is very grateful to Florentino Pérez, the fans, the players and his own staff for making it a memorable experience for him.
“Today we go our separate ways again. Today, once again, I carry in my heart every moment experienced in this wonderful second spell as Real Madrid coach. They’ve been unforgettable years, an incredible journey full of emotions, trophies and, above all, the pride of representing this badge.
Thanks to the president Florentino Pérez, to the club, to my players, to my staff and, above all, to this unique fanbase that has always made me feel like one of them.
What we have achieved together will remain forever in the memory of Madrid fans, not only for the victories, but for the way we achieved them. Those magic nights at the Bernabéu are already football history. Now a new adventure begins, but my bond with Real Madrid is eternal,” he wrote.
On his final match vs Real Sociedad on Saturday at the Bernabéu, Carlo disclosed that there might be tears in the stadium, knowing how emotional he can be.
The UCL winner maintained that he’d have no issue crying once he hears the final whistle, confirming that he intends to share the final moments with Luka Modric who is also leaving the club at the end of this season.
“It will be a nice farewell. They’re emotional days, talking to the players who’ve been with you all this time, there’s quite a big staff, I’ve had a very good relationship with the players.
We’ve had a good working atmosphere thanks to everyone’s effort here, the cooks who’ve made me carbonara before games, the cleaners, they’re special days, but there’s nothing new, the season ends, four years here are a lot, and we’ve all had a good time.
I get emotional quickly, my grandfather did, my father did, if I cry there’s no problem, I won’t hide that. It will be a nice day, I’ll share it with Luka [Modrić], who has been a fantastic support here at Real Madrid, a fantastic player, a legend, and doing it with him is nice,” he added.
