Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti, is set to leave the club following this weekend’s LaLiga clash with Barcelona.

This was revealed by football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, via his X handle on Friday.

Romano wrote: “Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid will part ways with formal exit steps to follow after El Clásico. It’s over.

“No issues on extra-season salary as Ancelotti never created any problems on that.

“The Italian coach will get a huge farewell as legend and then... Xabi Alonso, in.”;

Alonso has also confirmed he is leaving Bayer Leverkusen at the end of this season.

“The club and I have agreed that these two last games will be my final ones as Bayer Leverkusen coach,”; Alonso said.

A defeat to Barcelona will all but rule out Madrid from the title race.
