Real Madrid dressing room 'source' names the four players who suffered most under Carlo Ancelotti

A dressing room source has revealed which players suffered most under Carlo Ancelotti with the Italian set to leave Real Madrid and join the Brazil national team this summer.

Despite an underwhelming campaign this season, Ancelotti's return to the Spanish capital has been largely successful, with two UEFA Champions League victories and two La Liga titles.

Despite no official announcement, Ancelotti is all but certain to be replaced by departing Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso, who said farewell to the club's supporters following defeat to Borussia Dortmund.

It has seemed inevitable that this would be Ancelotti's final season at Madrid, with the integration of star signing Kylian Mbappe not going as smoothly as first hoped.

Following confirmation of the Italian's exit, The Athletic have revealed some of the behind-the-scenes details of Ancelotti's departure.

According to sources from inside the club's dressing room, there are four players who found it difficult to work under Ancelotti due to a lack of 'specialised coaches', particularly those who can do individual work with players.

The report claims Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, Arda Guler, and Endrick were the most affected by the lack of guidance, with the latter two also suffering from a lack of first-team opportunities.

Real Madrid's dressing room had also reportedly grown tired of a lack of tactical training sessions, as they believe it has shown in matches.

Ancelotti spoke for the first time since the announcement on Tuesday, and was fairly upbeat despite the club's decision to make the change.

“Why am I leaving? Like everything in life, things come to an end. I enjoyed my time here," he told the media.

"I am leaving after 4 years where we won a lot of trophies. The experience will stay with me forever.

“I will be Brazil’s manager from May 26th. Right now, I am Madrid’s manager. I want to end in the best way I can and want to enjoy my final days. I respect the club, the fans and the players," he added.
