Ancelotti accumulated 15 major trophies during his two stints as manager, including three FIFA Club World Cups, two La Liga wins, and three UEFA Champions League triumphs.
The club’s historic 2022 Champions League run was the highlight of his second term, which included two league and European doubles.

Real Madrid’s final home match against Real Sociedad on Saturday will feature a special tribute to Ancelotti at the Santiago Bernabéu in recognition of his services.

With Xabi Alonso back at the top, Real Madrid quickly lined up a replacement. Xabi Alonso, a cherished former player at Bayer Leverkusen, will take over as manager.
