The club legend says the Italian did a very good job
at the Santiago Bernabeu but accepts that coaches will always come under
fire when failing to win major trophies
The Italian’s two-year spell in charge came to an end after the failure to win this season’s La Liga or Champions League titles, despite having secured four trophies for the Bernabeu club since arriving from Paris Saint-Germain in 2013.
And Raul, Madrid’s greatest ever goalscorer with 323 strikes, has said that Ancelotti’s achievements need to be applauded.
“Nobody can deny that Ancelotti did a really good job. I think he should be thanked for the great work he did,” the 37-year-old New York Cosmos star told AS.
Madrid won the Champions League, Copa del Rey, Uefa Super Cup and Club World Cup during Ancelotti’s reign, but Raul says it is now time for the club to move forward and look for the best solution as they aim to fill the gap left behind by the 55-year-old’s exit.
“Every time the season finishes and no titles have been won it is always difficult, with changes of coaches and changes of players, but that’s normal in a club as big as Real Madrid.”
Rafael Benitez is expected to be announced as Ancelotti’s replacement following the culmination of Napoli’s Serie A season on Sunday after the Spaniard announced the clash with Lazio will be his final game with the Naples outfit.
