Blancos are in no rush to fire Ancelotti, and no one expects him to leave during the season. They consider him part of the club, and are happy to have him as manager while winning titles. As soon as he is not – which could be this season – Ancelotti will be offered a role in the club above.

Few expected Ancelotti to be there for so long when he was sent into the job, but with two Champions Leagues in three years, the Blancos have far exceeded expectations with the Italian. His inconsistency in the League has always been a feature of his career, and it is no surprise that, as in his first spell, it could come back to bite him.
