Less than two weeks have passed. Real Madrid announces Ancelotti's departure

Just on May 12, the Brazilian federation announced the appointment of Carlo Ancelotti as head coach of the national team. Meanwhile, Real Madrid took its time with the official farewell, waiting—as Ancelotti himself put it—for the right moment. Now, that moment has arrived.

Details: Real Madrid's press service has confirmed that tomorrow's match against Real Sociedad will be Ancelotti's last at the helm of Los Blancos. The royal club also emphasized that Ancelotti oversaw some of the most successful periods in its history, expressing gratitude for the Italian's tremendous work.

Quote: “Carlo Ancelotti has become a permanent member of our big Madrid family. We are proud to have enjoyed the leadership of a coach who led us to such success and who has exemplarily represented our club's values,” read the statement from club president Florentino Pérez.

Reminder: According to media reports, Ancelotti's successor at Real Madrid is expected to be Xabi Alonso, the current head coach of Bayer Leverkusen. But tomorrow will bring yet another emotional farewell, as Luka Modrić announced his departure from Real yesterday. Unlike the Italian, Modrić will leave the team after the Club World Cup.
