**Madrid, Spain** – Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has reaffirmed his commitment to the club, declaring he has no intention of retiring any time soon. This comes as he prepares to lead Real Madrid in his 300th match, a LaLiga clash against Alaves on Tuesday.
“I’m not thinking about my future whatsoever,” Ancelotti stated during a press conference on Monday. “I love this job. I have been lucky enough to coach great clubs, tomorrow it will be my 300th game at the best club in the world. It is something special to be in this dugout, to do it 300 times is not quite a miracle, but it is almost a miracle.”
The 65-year-old Italian, who led Real Madrid to a historic Champions League and LaLiga double last season, expressed his desire to stay in the Spanish capital for “many years to come.” He lauded the resilience of his squad, highlighting their ability to consistently find ways to win even with key players sidelined by injuries.
“Some records are about winning and others are about not losing,” Ancelotti explained. “We are coming from a very long run and that means a lot of success, because draws often help you a lot. I think that in football, if you can’t win, at least don’t lose. Sometimes a draw gives a better feeling than a defeat.”
Real Madrid are currently in second place in LaLiga, four points behind leaders Barcelona. Ancelotti’s side are on a remarkable 38-game unbeaten run in the league, closing in on Barcelona’s record of 43 games without a defeat.
