Manager Carlo Ancelotti has received reassurance from Real Madrid that he will be retained for the 2023-24 season.

Ancelotti returned to Real Madrid for a second stint as manager in June 2021.

“Club president Florentino Perez and I spoke yesterday. We had a meeting, and he showed me his support,” said Ancelotti.

“I think everyone knows my situation. I have a contract until June 30, 2024 and I want to see it out. Everyone knows that. Yes, they’ve said I will stay.

Real Madrid will likely end the 2022-23 Spanish LaLiga season in second or third position. They exited this season’s Champions League after this week’s second-leg semi-final defeat to Manchester City.

“We talked about Wednesday’s game against City, we talked about the season we’ve had and the two seasons that we’ve had. We move forward, with the same desire to do things well,” added Ancelotti, who won the 2021-22 Champions League with Real Madrid.

“We’re evaluating what we’ve done. The last game against City was very bad. We’re all hurt by that. But right now the season has been a good season. And the last two seasons have been unforgettable.

“It’s been a good season, for me. Obviously we could have done better. We’ll assess what we haven’t done well. We didn’t do well in the league, but we fought for the Champions League until the end.”
