End of Ancelotti's Signing by Brazil, Ronaldo Announces His Official Decision

Carlo Ancelotti's Future Has Finally Been Revealed After Ronaldo Nazário's Recent Decision

The problems Real Madrid have faced this season have left Carlo Ancelotti in a difficult position. Although the club is still alive in all competitions, the coach's future is not assured. Amid several rumors about his possible destination for the next season, one of them has been ruled out.

The Italian was linked for several months as the possible future coach of the Brazil National Team. Despite rejecting the offers presented, Ronaldo's candidacy for CBF president was key to securing his signing. However, the Brazilian legend has announced that he has withdrawn from the presidential race.

"In my first contact with the 27 affiliates, I found 23 closed doors," were part of his words explaining what happened. With his decision being firm and final, Ancelotti's future has returned to being full of doubts for the next season.

The Denied Destination

After their performance in the last Copa América, the Brazil National Team has been searching for a quality coach. Despite the great stars they currently have, the talent of all these players has not been utilized. With the clear objective of becoming a dominant and winning team again, Ancelotti was the best option.

However, the contract until 2026 he has with Real Madrid and his willingness to fulfill it presented an obstacle for Brazil. The team's last hope of having the coach was Ronaldo's possible victory as their new president.

However, his decision to withdraw from the race for this position has officially and decisively determined Ancelotti's future. Without a secured destination, the coach will have to finish this season excellently to remain at Real Madrid.

Ancelotti's Only Option

With rumors of a possible arrival of Xabi Alonso becoming more constant, Ancelotti's situation is clear. The coach, in the coming months, must convince Real Madrid to at least allow him to fulfill his contract.
