Ancelotti, who has led Real to three Champions League trophies and two Club World Cup wins, is seeking a third LaLiga title with them as they sit four points below leaders Barcelona with five matches left.

"I can make it clear, the truth is that I am very fond of my club, my players and my fans. I'll talk about my future on the 25th (of May)," Ancelotti told reporters on Saturday ahead of a home game against Celta Vigo.

"I know perfectly well what I have to do, what I am going to do and what I am doing, which is not talking about my future today. I know I'm disappointing you today but I don't care."

Ancelotti said he had no idea how or when he might leave Real.

"Anything will be a fantastic farewell. I've never had a fight in six years with the club and I'm not going to have one on the last day, which I don't know when it will be. It could be May 25, it could be 2026," he added.
