After a season strewn with pitfalls and marked by halftone results, the future of Carlo Ancelotti in Real Madrid was more than ever uncertain. Criticized for his tactical choices and weakened by the recent defeat in the final of the Copa del Rey against FC Barcelona, the Italian coach seemed to have reached the end of a cycle on the Merengue bench. While speculation swept through his future destination, the main interested party seems to have decided: his next challenge is already sealed.
Ancelotti turns the Madrid page
According to information from Fabrizio RomanoCarlo Ancelotti has reached an agreement in principle with the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) to become the new Seleção coach from next June. The prestigious 64-year-old technician is therefore preparing to leave Madrid to settle at the head of a legendary nation, with a clear goal: to lead Brazil to a sixth world coronation at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Ancelotti will attack a new chapter in his career
The deal provides that Encelotti officially takes up its duties before the next international truce of June, during the qualification matches at the World Cup against Ecuador and Paraguay. Real Madrid, for its part, will therefore have to compose without it for the inaugural club World Cup organized this summer in the United States. An inevitable control of witness, even if the White House has yet to finish its season in Liga, where it shows four points behind Barça five days from the end.
The colossal challenge of Brazil awaits him
With this decision, Ancelotti turns a golden page of his club career to embark on an unprecedented international adventure. Never had he directed a national selection. This ambitious choice could allow him to enter a little more legend if he manages to conquer the supreme title with the Seleção. A colossal challenge, but commensurate with a coach accustomed to the summits.
It remains to be seen whether, before folding luggage, Carlo Ancelotti will succeed in offering a last shiver to Madrid supporters. Because even if the future is already written, the end of this season still has some final battles.
