Ancelotti Negotiates to Leave Real Madrid, Initial Contacts and Significant Offer

Real Madrid has several important dilemmas to solve ahead of the upcoming summer markets. Besides the reconstruction of a squad severely affected by injuries in the defensive area, the future of the home bench at Santiago Bernabéu is also a matter of consideration. Carlo Ancelotti's future has been heavily debated recently due to the irregular performance of his players, increasing the debate about his possible dismissal and successor.

For now, from the Valdebebas offices, they don't hesitate to reiterate their full support for the Reggiolo coach as long as he remains the coach of the first team. However, they haven't postponed the search for the 'heir' of the most successful coach in the club's history, focusing on Xabi Alonso as the ideal coach for that role. 

The future of Carlo Ancelotti after his second stint at the helm of the Madrid team raises many doubts. The Italian strategist has already hinted that coaching in Saudi Arabia was an option, but the possibility of taking charge of the Brazilian national team has returned with much more strength. The information published by "Relevo" reveals that Ronaldo Nazário would be trying to reach the presidency of the CBF, the Brazilian Football Federation. 

If the former '11' of Madrid were to take that position, O Fenômeno would want to have the services of the Reggiolo coach. This decision would become effective in 2026, the same year the Italian strategist's contract with the entity presided over by Florentino Pérez ends. The generational change on Real Madrid's bench, induced through Xabi Alonso, wouldn't pose any problem for that operation.

All Clarified

Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti remains the coach of Real Madrid. The Reggiolo coach has a lot of work ahead: four titles are still in contention this season. His competitive aspirations include trying to win the first treble in the history of the white squad, as well as becoming the champion of the FIFA Club World Cup.

It's not the first time that the name of the current Real Madrid coach has been linked with a possible position in the Brazilian national team. The Reggiolo coach had to respond, during the 22/23 season, to several rumors placing him in the verdeamarelo team during that summer. After much speculation during the early months of 2023, the Madrid coach himself definitively dismissed that move in a press conference.

But the interest in seeing him at the helm of the Brazilian national team has not waned. This time it is Ronaldo Nazário, a Madrid legend, who would be waiting to access the presidency of the CBF to try to convince the Reggiolo coach. Logically, his departure in that direction would occur when his bond with Real Madrid ends, the conditio sine qua non that the coach himself set a long time ago.

As long as he remains 'tied' to Real Madrid, the Italian strategist will not hesitate to stay on the home bench at Santiago Bernabéu as long as necessary. He expressed this when Florentino Pérez was re-elected as president of the club, assuring that he had no problem "staying four more years" if the white leader deemed it appropriate.
