Carlo Ancelotti, the newly appointed head coach of Real Madrid, conducted his first training session with the team on Monday afternoon. The Italian manager, who succeeded José Mourinho in June, had the opportunity to interact with his new players. A significant portion of the squad, including stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Xabi Alonso, Kaka, and new recruits, participated in the session.
Players who were part of the Confederations Cup, such as Sergio Ramos and Marcelo, are still on vacation and will join the squad later. Ancelotti is leading a coaching staff that includes Zinedine Zidane in the role of his assistant coach, marking Zidane’s first time in this position.
Real Madrid, under Ancelotti, is gearing up for a friendly match against his former club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on July 27. The friendly will be a notable encounter for Ancelotti, who previously coached PSG before his move to Real Madrid, adding an interesting storyline to the preseason preparations.
