adminMADRID. — Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is suffering from cervical stenosis and will travel to Vancouver, Canada for an operation to correct it, the Italian was quoted as saying yesterday.
Ancelotti is waiting to hear whether he will be replaced as Real coach after they ended the season without winning a major trophy, with an announcement expected in coming days.
The 55-year-old has a contract until the end of next term, but Real president Florentino Perez is widely expected to make him the scapegoat for the club’s failure.
Ancelotti told Italian daily Il Giornale the stenosis was part of the reason he was planning to take a year out if Real sacked him. — Reuters.
