Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says he expects to remain next season.

There has been speculation that Ancelotti could be on his way after just 12 months in charge.

But he said today: "At the end of the season the club will evaluate my work and make a decision. I enjoy this environment and this job every day.

"I am lucky to have a lot of balance and tranquility.

"The coach only stands out when he loses. The coach can put it right or wrong, but you have to put the players in too. If it's bad, it's only the coach's fault... I have to accept it and even more so when you train Madrid, it's the most beautiful place in the world.

"To accept these criticisms, it is normal, the problem is the criticism in teams that are not as big as Madrid."
