Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti has said he is likely to quit coaching and focus on his family after his time with the La Liga champions comes to an end. 

The Italian, who recently became the first coach in football history to win all five of Europe’s top leagues, however, said his retirement will come after spending considerable time at the  Santiago Bernabeu. 

The 62-year-old made this known while preparing his team for the Champions League semi-final second leg against Manchester City on Wednesday.

Madrid eventually came from behind to win the match and progressed to the UCL final in Paris, after edging the two legged tie on a 6-5 aggregate win. 

Asked if he will be quitting football after leaving the Spanish Champions he said: 

“After Real, yes, I will probably stop. But if Real keep me here for 10 years, I’ll coach here for 10 years,” 

He continued: “I would like to spend time with my grandchildren, go on holiday with my wife.

“There are so many things that I have neglected and that I would like to do…

“Yes, there could be a national team but that’s premature for the moment.”
