Ancelotti, the new shock announcement!

Long announced at the head of the Brazilian selection, Carlo Ancelotti finally extended his contract until 2026 at Real Madrid. Where he intends to stay forever.

Brazil had to make up its mind. While many hoped to see Carlo Ancelotti arrive at the end of the season, to revive a Seleçao in great difficulty, the Italian coach (64 years old) finally decided to return to Real Madrid, with a new contract until 2026 at stake. If he had never personally said that he would join the Auriverde selection, his decision was seen as a snub in the country of football. A choice that the transalpine technician nevertheless accepts.

“The fact that the club wants to continue my work is importanthe declared Tuesday at a press conference. I have always said that I am in no rush to renew my contract. The club chose to do it now because they are probably happy with the work. » Before the resumption of La Liga, which will see the White House face Mallorca on Wednesday evening at Santiago-Bernabeu (7:15 p.m.), his team actually occupies the top of the standings with 45 points, ahead of Girona on goal difference.

“ This is my last bench, I confirm it”

“The reality, as everyone knows, is that I had contact with the former president of the CBF (the Brazilian federation, editor’s note)added the Merengue coach, in office since 2021. I would like to thank Ednaldo Rodrigues for his affection and interest. He did me a great honor, but that was pending the situation with Real Madrid. I want to thank him for his affection, but in the end things worked out the way I wanted: I wanted to stay here. »

Despite the rumors, it was in the Spanish capital and nowhere else that Carlo Ancelotti envisaged his future. And that’s where he even sees himself staying beyond 2026! “I don’t know if Brazil will want me after 2026. I don’t know if they are happy with my decisionhe continued. This is my last bench, I confirm it. I don’t know when I will stop. 2026 may or may not be the last year I coach. I hope to be able to be there in 2027 and 2028. But I love Madrid and I want to stay there. »
