Carlo Ancelotti’s job is safe for now despite Real Madrid suffering one the worst defeats in their European Cup history.
This Champions League thumping was also Real Madrid’s 11th defeat of the season and in the second period of Florentino Perez as president, that has only happened twice before and on both occasions coaches lost their job.
It was Jose Mourinho’s farewell campaign in 2013. And in the 2018-19 season there were three different managers.
And yet still Ancelotti feels, for the moment, safe. Perez said he would remain in charge, when he spoke after the Spanish Cup Final.
