Real Madrid Confidencial Blow to Ancelotti: His Problems Multiply After the Thrashing Against Arsenal
The Italian coach has run out of his other option in case he leaves Real Madrid's bench
These aren't easy days for Carlo Ancelotti at the helm of Real Madrid. After the defeat against Arsenal at the Emirates, the Italian has also learned that Jorge Jesus will be the coach of Brazil for the coming months.
The Brazilian Football Confederation has been working intensely to find the successor to Dorival Júnior after the defeat against Argentina. During this process, high-profile names like Filipe Luis, Abel Ferreira, Carlo Ancelotti, Pep Guardiola, and José Mourinho were considered. However, the one finally selected to take the coaching position will be Jorge Jesus.
Jorge Jesus, the Chosen One by the CFB
The Portuguese coach, who currently manages Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, is preparing to face his first challenge as a national team coach. However, his hiring will involve a cost, as it won't be a move without expenses.
The Brazilian Football Confederation will have to pay 2.5 million euros to terminate Jorge Jesus's contract with Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia. This amount corresponds to the release clause that the coach has with his current club. The official announcement of his signing will be made in the coming weeks, with the intention of doing so before the start of the Club World Cup.
Jorge Jesus's contract with the Brazilian national team will extend until the 2026 World Cup. His challenge will be arduous: to restore Brazil's lost supremacy in recent years.
Carlo Ancelotti Is No Longer an Option
The choice of Jorge Jesus makes it clear that Brazil no longer has Carlo Ancelotti in mind. The Italian coach, who will likely leave Real Madrid at the end of the season, loses the opportunity to take the reins of the Brazilian national team.
Despite Carlo Ancelotti receiving several offers from the Brazilian Football Federation, his desire was always to remain at Real Madrid until the last moment. Now that Brazil already has its new coach, the Italian's future is hanging in the air. If he leaves the white team at the end of the season, the one from Reggiolo could be completely free and open to different proposals.
