Carlo Ancelotti gestures in Real Madrid’s match against Juventus in the Champions League semi final at the Bernabeu.<\/p><\/div>\n

MADRID, May 24-\u00a0Real Madrid fired their coach Carlo Ancelotti on Monday as the popular Italian paid for a disappointing season without a major trophy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ancelotti, 55, had lead Real to their 10th elite European title last season but was sacked after the club finished runners-up to Barcelona in La Liga and lost to Juventus in the semi-finals of this year’s Champions League.<\/p>\n

Club president Florentino Perez told a news conference at the club’s Santiago Bernabeu stadium that the services of the former AC Milan, Chelsea and Paris St Germain coach were no longer required.<\/p>\n

“The board of directors has taken the decision to relieve Carlo Ancelotti of his duties as coach of Real Madrid,” Perez said.<\/p>\n

“It has been a very hard decision… but Real Madrid is extremely demanding and we believe it is time to give a new impulse” to the club, Perez continued.<\/p>\n

“The time has come for a change of direction that will allow us to win more titles and reach our peak competitive level ahead of a new era,” said the straight-talking Perez, who explained that Real Madrid was a worldwide reference and no-one who worked there could expect an easy time.<\/p>\n

\u00a0–\u00a0‘two fantastic years’ –\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The mild-mannered Ancelotti took to Twitter immediately after the announcement to thank the players and fans for the memories.<\/p>\n

“What remains for me is the memory of two fantastic years at Real Madrid,” he said. “Thanks to the club, to the fans and to my players.”<\/p>\n

Ancelotti, who succeed Jose Mourinho as Real boss in June 2013, leaves Madrid having failed to convert a record run of victories last year into silverware at the end of this season.<\/p>\n

Madrid had won the Club World Cup on a streak of 22 consecutive wins between September and December to add to the Copa del Rey and UEFA Super Cup in a record four-trophy haul in 2014.<\/p>\n

But they were beaten to the Spanish league title by a treble-seeking Barcelona and eliminated by city rivals Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey.<\/p>\n

Ancelotti’s last chance of keeping his job was ended when one of his former clubs, Juventus, knocked Real out of the Champions League earlier this month to progress to the final.<\/p>\n

That was too much for the club’s management, despite Ancelotti’s popularity with fans and players.<\/p>\n

World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo had even taken to Twitter to back the coach after Saturday’s season-ending 7-3 demolition of Getafe: “Great coach and amazing person. Hope we work together next season.”<\/p>\n

– Spanish speaker –\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Madrid however are now preparing to welcome a new coach with media reporting that Napoli’s Spanish coach Rafael Benitez is among the favourites.<\/p>\n

“It would be very good if he speaks Spanish,” said Perez, indicating that an announcement would be made next week.<\/p>\n

Ancelotti, meanwhile, has said that his future remains in coaching although he suggested he would take a year out and have back surgery if he was dismissed.<\/p>\n

“My future is clear in my head,” Ancelotti said at the weekend. “I will continue here at Real Madrid or I will stop for a year.”<\/p>\n

“I must have a back operation because of spinal stenosis that for some time creates a tingle in my hands,” he told Italian newspaper Il Giornale.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know how long the period of recovery will be,” he added. “I can assure you that I’ve had plenty of offers from Italy, England, Germany.”<\/p>\n

“This is football, especially at a club like Real Madrid it is normal to be questioned after part of the season didn’t go well.<\/p>\n

“I continue to have confidence in my ability because I like to coach.”<\/p>\n
