Well this team has a limitation. It cannot defend a league title. Add to that it cannot possibly sustain the Champions League successes of the last decade, and rarely cares about the domestic cup. So there will be down periods.

But it matters how we lose, not how we win. If Madrid wins 4 games in a row needing remontadas, extra time, penalties and dodgy referee decisions to win the UCL, the fans will not care.

If Madrid loses 4 clasicos in humiliating fashion, with the opposition outrunning your team by 7-8 miles, and gets defeated by any team with a semi-decent strategy, it is unacceptable. Consequences are guaranteed, no matter the circumstances. It is the most demanding football club in the world, and it's at the summit for a reason.

Even Don Carlo acknowledged that. This is a results based football club. Winning ugly/pretty is all the same, as long as we Win.

Sounds like he's already making excuses.

"I did exactly the same thing at Madrid as I did at Leverkusen. I haven't changed but things didn't workout here the same way for some reason."

Lol that’s not what he's saying at all and you know that.

He's laying the ground work for a soft landing, managing expectations. Maybe he has real doubts. Maybe he's decided to go a completely different direction with this project.

I have no idea because "what worked here may not work elsewhere" is an incredibly ambiguous statement, very Socratic. I can't read more into than to say he understands the methods and results may be different in Madrid and there's no guarantee of success.

It's also the kind of statement we get from Carlo and Zidane, zero information yet indisputable.

This is where you can see real differences with other coaches who come out and talk about everything from taking on the new world order, to the micromanaged tactics, to the color of under wear players wear and the other bad habits the players have that annoy him.

It's an idea that should be transmitted by any competent coach. You need to adapt your system to your squad not the other way around. The transfer market will give you an opportunity to bring the two together, but expecting the same system to work with different profile of players is the recipe for bad results. He will need to adjust his ideas, his man management, his training methods etc to fit the team he has at his disposal to get the best results.

Xabi has been coached by Mourinho, Pep, Carlo, Rafa, VDB and Aragones, coaches on complete opposite ends of any coaching spectrum, I think he probably already has a few hats he can cycle through based on the team he works with.

Well not exactly.

Isn't the central them behind the coaching change that Carlo's lack of clear tactical plan was getting exposed by Flick and Arteta's strict adherence to a singular system and style of play.

Many people want Klopp for example because his system actually fits our personnel with speedy wing forwards and b2b midfielders.

System coaches are destined to fail at clubs without either endless patience or endless funding.

Having a foundational set of ideas or principles that are the basis for your system and having a fluid system that can evolve around different players and game situations or points in the season are two different things. You think Klopp had the same system in Liverpool for the entire time he was there?

Xabi is the best choice available. First person i'd ring is him, before Klopp. For multiple reasons.

All this discussion only for Florentino to announce Raul will be the next coach of the team next week.

And he brings Iker as assistant coach and Sergio Ramos as a starter. Perfection.

Carlos departure marks the end of an era at this club. I'm really going to miss him. He had a remarkable second stint. I'm grateful he decided to come back and share his greatness with us!

Gracias Carlo!

saadomar · May 23, 2025

Dang, the club waited until the absolute second to last day to announce Modric and Ancelotti's departure. Why couldn't they announce it earlier so more people could plan around to come pay homage to these legends?

Ssr9 · May 23, 2025

Thank you Carlo. Absolute legend. 15 trophies cannot be argued with. Top person as well. Hope he comes back to the club in some capacity later.
I'll be rooting for him at the World Cup as I'm a big selecao supporter.

For the final time, thank you Carlo, and good luck in the future to our winningest coach, not bad for a guy who had no idea what he was doing, now, we move on .......

Geeez move on dude. Everyone can tell that anti-Carlo sentiments live rent free in your head and had mentally scarred you. And learn to read the room.

Good luck to Carlo on his Brazilian adventure. May you always have a home in Madrid. And someday maybe a statue for the winningest Madrid manager ever at the Bernabeu.

Gracias Carlo! Took over the club when it was in a bit of a chaos (both times) and delivered unforgettable titles and success. Classy to the very end, and will forever be when of the best coaches in club history.
