‘New adventure begins, but bond with Real Madrid is eternal': Ancelotti set for grand farewell at Bernabeu
Madrid: Real Madrid have confirmed the departure of Carlo Ancelotti, as the Italian is set to join the Brazil national team on Monday, and have confirmed that the club will be giving him a grand farewell in the final game of the season against Real Sociedad at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday. Ancelotti took to social media to reflect on his incredible journey at the club ahead of his final game at the helm. 'Today, we part ways again. Today, I carry again in my heart every moment lived in this wonderful second stage as Real Madrid's coach. These have been unforgettable years, an incredible journey full of emotions, titles, and, above all, the pride of representing this badge. 'Now a new adventure begins, but my bond with Real Madrid is eternal. Until soon, madridistas. Hala Madrid y Nada Más,' posted Ancelotti on X. Ancelotti, who is already the coach with the second-most matches in Real Madrid's history after Miguel Munoz (605), has won 15 titles in the Madrid dugout, making him the most successful in the club's 123-year history with three Champions Leagues, Club World Cups and European Super Cups each and 2 La Liga titles, Copa del Reys and Spanish Super Cups each. Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez, who has a great relationship with the Italian, echoed the sentiments of the club, 'Carlo Ancelotti will forever be part of the great Madridista family. We feel incredibly honoured to have had the chance to enjoy a coach who has helped us achieve so much success, but who has also embodied our club's values in such exemplary fashion." It will certainly be an emotional night for Madridistas on Saturday as not only will it be the last game for their most successful coach, it will also be the last time Luka Modric laces up at the stadium where he became the most successful player in club history. The Croatian confirmed he will be departing after the FIFA Club World Cup in June via a social media post on Thursday. 'Real Madrid C.F. and Carlo Ancelotti have reached an agreement to bring an end to his time as Real Madrid coach. Our club wishes to express its gratitude and appreciation for a man who is a true legend of both Real Madrid and world football. 'The Santiago Bernabéu will pay tribute to Carlo Ancelotti tomorrow, at what will be his final game as Real Madrid coach. Real Madrid wishes him and all his family the very best of luck in this new chapter of his life,' read the statement by the club.

Luka Modric to leave Real Madrid after 13 trophy-laden years in Spain
Real Madrid and midfielder Luka Modric — the most decorated player in the club's history — have agreed to part ways after the Club World Cup. The 39-year-old Modric will leave after an 'unforgettable time as a player at our club,' Madrid said on Thursday (May 22, 2025). 'Real Madrid wishes to express its immense gratitude and appreciation for a player who has become a true legend both of our club and world football." Modric arrived at Madrid in 2012 and became a key player during one of the most successful periods in the club's history. In 13 seasons, Modric helped the club win 28 titles: Six European Cups, six Club World Cups, five European Super Cups, four Spanish leagues, two Copas del Rey and five Spanish Super Cups. He had been playing fewer minutes in recent seasons under coach Carlo Ancelotti. The Club World Cup starts mid-June in the United States, and Madrid will pay tribute to Modric in its last match of the season on Saturday against Real Sociedad in La Liga at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. 'Luka Modric will forever remain in the hearts of all madridistas (Madrid fans) as a unique and exemplary footballer who has always embodied the values of Real Madrid,' club president Florentino Pérez said. 'His football has captured the imagination of madridismo and fans all over the world. His legacy will live on forever.' Hall of fame Modric has 590 appearances for Madrid — eighth on the club's all-time list — and 43 goals. He is one of only five players to have won six European Cups. In 2018, Modric won the Ballon d'Or, was named FIFA's best men's player and UEFA's men's player of the year. Twice he's been named the best midfielder in the Champions League. Modric's 186 matches for Croatia make him the nation's record-holder for international appearances. He won the Golden Ball at the 2018 World Cup in Russia — where Croatia lost the final to France — and the Bronze Ball at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
