"The board of directors have decided to relieve Carlo Ancelotti of his duties," Perez told a news conference.

Ancelotti, who had a three-year contract that was due to run until the end of next season, led Real to a record-extending 10th European crown and a King's Cup triumph in his first term in charge in 2013-14.

However, this season they were eliminated in the Champions League semi-finals by Juventus while Barcelona won La Liga.
