Carlo Ancelotti has denied that Real Madrid are playing for his future as coach in Saturday's Copa del Rey final and Tuesday's Champions League semifinal first leg with Manchester City.
After missing out on the LaLiga title, trailing 14 points behind leaders Barcelona with five games left, Madrid's season will now be defined by the cup clash with Osasuna in Seville -- their first Copa del Rey final in nine years -- and then the Champions League game with City three days later.
"It's the Copa del Rey final and a semifinal, that's all. I'm not playing for my life," Ancelotti said in a news conference on Friday. "It's a trophy, and then we have a semifinal to prepare for... My future is clear. My contract ends on June 30, 2024, not tomorrow."
