Carlo Ancelotti, the Real Madrid locker room made its choice

New twist in the Carlo Ancelotti soap opera in Real Madrid. While some Spanish media announced the departure of the Italian coach next week after the final of the Merengues King Cup against FC Barcelona, ​​the latest news gave an amicable separation after the season. Florentino Pérez has extended the Mister until 2026 but by leaving the possibility of spreading it this summer in order to unroll the red carpet at Xabi Alonso, which remains the priority.

The Athletican American-British media much more serious than the Spanish newspapers, the announcement on Saturday evening: Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid at the end of the season with the serious possibility of resuming the reins of the selection of Brazil. Already courted last year, the PSG technician could respond favorably to the interest of the CBF, who has therefore not decided to hire Jorge Jesus to succeed Dorival.

The same English source explains that an intermediary of the Brazilian federation attended the quarter -final return of the Merengues against Arsenal on Wednesday in Bernabéu, in order to speak directly with Carlo Ancelotti. The 2026 World Cup will obviously be the new challenge of the Quintuple coach winner of the Champions League (two with Milan, three with Real), now 65 years old.

Ancelotti will find Vinicius

Eliminated from the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé and his teammates will try to save their season by winning the King's Cup against the Blaugranas before returning to the Catalan formation at the head of the Liga. The FCB temporarily took seven points ahead by winning against Celta (4-3) on Saturday, before the Real meeting against Bilbao, the 4th, Sunday.

The Seleçao is not at best, as evidenced by its heavy defeat in Argentina (4-1), last month, during the 14th day of the playoffs in the AMSUD zone. Marquinhos and his teammates are still in good position to qualify, being 4th with six points ahead of the 7th, Venezuela, before the last three days. Vinicius is very disappointing with its selection. Maybe Encelotti will find the right formula …
