Carlo Ancelotti has signed a contract extension with Real Madrid through 2026.

Ancelotti returned to the club in 2021 for his second spell in charge and won a LaLiga and Champions League double in his first season back.

Ancelotti's previous deal was set to expire in June and he had been linked with the Brazil national team job.

The speed of the announcement had come as a surprise to Ancelotti's camp.
