Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has insisted that Carlo Ancelotti is not in danger of losing his job as head coach at the Santiago Bernabeu side.
A number of recent reports have suggested the Blancos are considering firing Ancelotti following their disappointing performances in recent weeks, with some sources claiming that the former Paris Saint-Germain boss will get axed if the reigning European champions lose their crunch Clasico clash with Liga leaders Barcelona on March 22.
However, Perez has made it clear that Ancelotti, who led the capital club to Champions League glory last season, still has his full support.
"I have come here to talk to you because there is a climate of great pressure," the Madrid president said at a press conference.
"The greatness of this club is the high demands we place on ourselves I and will not have our name tarnished when we are not going through our best moment.
"The attacks aimed at our coach and our players are wholly unfair. The club has complete confidence in our coach and in our players. Whatever happens, Carlo Ancelotti will continue to be coach of Real Madrid.
"We have the best coach and the best players that Real Madrid could have. They have won the respect of the football world and above all, the Madridistas. Together, they have won the titles Real Madrid have been waiting many years to win. They won those titles playing wonderful football that continued up until just two months ago.
