Carlo Ancelotti is confident he will remain in charge of Real Madrid next season, despite his team's eight point deficit on Barcelona at the top of La Liga, he said Friday.

Los Blancos host rivals Atletico Madrid in a derby clash on Saturday, where they will try to cut the gap on the Catalans. Madrid president Florentino Perez has not always shown patience with coaches but after the team's 5-2 Champions League last 16 first leg win over Liverpool this week, Ancelotti was relaxed. "I think (I will stay), I am quite calm," Ancelotti, whose Madrid contract expires in June 2024, told a news conference. "I don't have to renew my contract, it's there.

I have to do just one thing, to win games." Madrid historically have valued European success higher than domestic achievements, as record 14 time European Cup winners.

In the past decade they have lifted the Champions League trophy five times, winning La Liga just three times in the same period.
