Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has opened up on his future at the Spanish side amid continued speculation that he will sign for Brazil next summer.
Ancelotti is currently in the third season at the Santiago Bernabeu, having also spent two years at the club between 2013 and 2015.
Asked about his future in a press conference on Saturday, Ancelotti said: "I can answer that easily: my contract with Real Madrid expires on June 30, 2024, so this is the period of time we have to discuss the renewal.
"If Real Madrid want to negotiate, I won't have any problems. I'm still the coach and that's the most important thing.
"There's time to think about it, what I want is to win these two games and have a peaceful Christmas."
Xabi Alonso, Raul and Brighton's Roberto De Zerbi have also been linked with Madrid, in action against Villarreal on Sunday and Alaves next Friday before the winter break in Spain.
