James Rodriguez backs Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti

James Rodriguez has joined the growing list of Real Madrid players to come out in support of Carlo Ancelotti.

Madrid president Florentino Perez is expected to meet with Ancelotti this week to discuss his future, with a trophy-less season tipped to lead to the Italian's dismissal. 

Cristiano Ronaldo has already voiced his desire for Ancelotti to continue, with James echoing that sentiment.

"It would be hard and tough [on Ancelotti]," the Colombian said after scoring in Madrid's 7-3 win over Getafe on Saturday. 

"He came here two years ago and he knows the team, knows how we are, how we act... but it is not my decision to make, so it is not my place to talk about it."
