Madrid, Dec 29 (EFE).- Carlo Ancelotti has extended his contract with Real Madrid until June 2026, the club announced on Friday.
Ancelotti’s deal had been due to run out at the end of the current season.

“In his five seasons as Real Madrid coach he has won 10 titles: 2 Champions Leagues, 2 Club World Cups, 2 European Super Cups, 1 League, 2 King’s Cups and 1 Spanish Super Cup,” a club statement said.
One of the most decorated managers in the game, Ancelotti is the only coach to have won four European Cups. He also has the most victories in the history of the competition, Real Madrid said in a statement.
He is also the first coach to win the five major European leagues (Italy, England, , and Spain), the club pointed out.
Ancelotti has taken charge of 260 games for Real Madrid, over two stints (2013-2015 and 2021-present), winning 189, drawing 33 and losing 38.
With his future settled, Ancelotti heads into a second half of the season with his team poised for more success.
