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."
