After Real Madrid were eliminated by Arsenal in the Champions League, speculation over Carlo Ancelotti's future grew, and the experienced coach answered questions on the matter at a press conference.
Speaking ahead of the Athletic Bilbao match, Ancelotti voiced his frustration, saying, 'Real Madrid have won 30 trophies in the last 10 years and we are still being questioned! I can't believe it!'
Ancelotti emphasized club president Florentino Perez's support for him, saying, 'The president is showing me more support and affection than ever. We will assess the future at the end of the season. Right now we are still competing for the title. I don't want to talk about my future. I also do not regret not pressuring the club over transfers. There is no conflict at the club; what is being said is false.'
TENSE MOMENTS AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE
When a journalist asked, 'Why do you say we should discuss your future at the end of the season?' Ancelotti showed his frustration by replying, 'Because I don't want to talk about my future right now. I will talk with the club, not with you.'
The 65-year-old coach said of his players, 'Am I happy with the players? The only thing I want to do is thank all these players. I have truly had, and continue to have, a wonderful time with them. These players gave me the chance to win 2 Champions League titles in 4 years. Is the Champions League the only important thing? It is true that this tournament is the most important tournament in this club's history. But the other cups and tournaments are not insignificant either!'
