Stadium Cheers and Hidden Contracts: Ancelotti’s Standout Night at Real Madrid

From the Stands: Ancelotti Celebrates

The Italian coach returns to support Real Madrid from the stands.

Ancelotti celebrated Real Madrid's victory over Levante in the 20th round of La Liga.

He posted photos from the Bernabéu alongside officials from the Brazilian Football Confederation.

In the caption he wrote, "What a joy to see Real Madrid win, and to share this moment with the vice president and the national teams director."

Ancelotti had stepped away from coaching Madrid after last season, with the club electing Spaniard Xabi Alonso, for all fans watching worldwide tonight, as Madrid plans keep rolling and the cheers don't stop.

He previously guided Real Madrid to three UEFA Champions League titles across two spells at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Spanish reports say the Brazilian federation plans to renew Ancelotti's contract until 2030 to keep him in charge of the Samba stars through the World Cup, securing the highest coaching salary; punchlines: If football had a sense of humor, Madrid would win just to see the press scramble; and if Ancelotti keeps landing new contracts, Madrid may need a bigger trophy cabinet.
