Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed when he will retire from football management, MySportDab reports.
The former Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and AC Milan manager is one of the revered names in European football, having managed some of the biggest clubs across top leagues in Europe.
Currently plying his trade with LaLiga giants Real Madrid, Ancelotti, who has clocked 64, is not expected to tarry on the dugout as a manager.
However, there were reports he could switch to international football to manage his first national team after his spell with Real Madrid.
But it appears his spell with the Los Blancos will be the last stop in his heroic and trophy-laden managerial career.
In a quote shared by Fabrizio Romano, Carlo Ancelotti told La Republica, he will retire from football management after his spell with Real Madrid.
“I will retire as Real Madrid manager. My career will finish at Real Madrid”, told Repubblica.
“As long as Real Madrid want me to stay, I will be here available for the club”.

MySportDab understands Ancelotti turned down a national team offer from Brazil to extend his contract with Real Madrid last year.
He is contracted to the club until 2026 and is more likely to bow out of the scene when the newly signed contract expires.
The 64-year-old is regarded as one of the most successful club managers in Europe, having won multiple Champions League trophies with different clubs, including domestic league titles across the best leagues in Europe.
Despite nearing the twilights of his managerial career, the Italian tactician is still on top of his game. He won the Champions League with Real Madrid in his first season in 2022 after he returned as manager for the second time.
And is en route to adding the elite club trophy in Europe to his collection again with the club after edging out Bayern Munich to reach the final of the competition.
