Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has rebuffed claims of having trouble with Real Madrid.

He set the record straight at a press conference today, May 14, as Madrid gear up for the game against Mallorca later in the evening.

According to him, his exit from Madrid is nothing to make a big deal of, as everything in life has a day it ends, and his case with the club is no different.He said, "I never had problems with Real and never will have problems with Real. It's a club that lives dearly in my heart, but everything in life has a date to end."

"I couldn't be Madrid's coach for the rest of my life. It comes to an end for many reasons. The club may need a new impetus. I'm not making a big deal out of it."Ancelotti added: "I've had a great time. We've won a lot and it will be a memory for life. The day I arrived [for the second time], if they told me I'd win 11 titles in four years, I'd sign it with my own blood. It's been an unforgettable time."

He expressed gratitude to the club for their support and added that he would always be a Madridista.

"A thousand thanks to this club. And we'll carry on. I'll always be a Madrid fan. It's the end of an era. Spectacular. I never thought I'd coach Madrid for six years, and now it's happened."

On Madrid not issuing a statement, he added: "Madrid will release a statement whenever it wants. There is no problem whatsoever and they'll do it when they deem it appropriate."

During two spells with Real Madrid, Ancelotti has won 15 trophies, including three Champions League titles.

Last season, he led the club to a Champions League and La Liga double, but is set to finish this campaign without silverware.

Real Madrid exited the Champions League in the quarter-finals, lost the final of the Copa del Rey to Barcelona, and sit seven points behind Hansi Flick's side in the league with three matches remaining.

Bayer Leverkusen manager and former Spain and Real Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso is set to take over at the Santiago Bernabéu.
