Relevo’s David Aguilera says that Dani Carvajal is now Real Madrid’s new “coach.”

Ancelotti wants to use the experience in a different way this season. After getting rid of his crutches, Carvajal will always be close to his peers. He might even be able to go to away games with the team.

On Monday, the 32-year-old already went to the training grounds to watch the team train and have a long conversation with the head coach.

The coach told the press before Real Madrid’s 2-1 win over Celta Vigo, “We will lose him as a player but not as a leader in the locker room because he will be here and work with us.”

Carvajal hurt himself in Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Villarreal earlier this month, ending his season.
