Bombshell: Ancelotti Responds to Brazil After His Possible K.O. at Real Madrid

The Italian coach has contacted the CBF to solve this important dilemma

One of the main figures criticized after the elimination in the Champions League quarter-finals is Carlo Ancelotti. The double defeat against Arsenal at that stage of the top European competition places the Italian coach at the center of all rumors, with his position at risk. No one guarantees the continuity of the Italian coach for the next season.

Quite the opposite, as many place the Real Madrid coach far from the local bench at Santiago Bernabéu starting this summer. His main exit, according to information and rumors from recent months, would be with the Brazil national team: the Canarinha is still looking for a definitive coach for the World Cup in the United States.

Despite the fact that the CBF had taken a striking interest in acquiring his services as a coach, Carlo Ancelotti would have definitively ended this saga according to information from MARCA. This important sports newspaper warns that the Italian strategist would inform the verdeamarelos leaders that his intention is to stay at Real Madrid.

His willingness to remain as an employee of the entity presided over by Florentino Pérez is surprising, even considering a possible dismissal in case of defeat in the Copa del Rey final. According to the newspaper MARCA, Carlo Ancelotti would be clear that his future doesn't involve taking the position of coach in a national team. Not even in a major project like Brazil.

Decision Made

This resistance of Carlo Ancelotti to leave Real Madrid for other competitive projects is truly striking. But it is in line with previous statements and words from the Reggiolo coach himself, who on more than one occasion has recognized himself as a Madridist... and aspires to remain linked to the club even if he is no longer their head coach.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Carlo Ancelotti at the merengue entity, beyond the debate about his continuity, given what has happened this season. The negative changes recorded by the team, since the arrival of Kylian Mbappé, have surprised a Madrid fanbase that demands thorough modifications to straighten the course of the white squad.

The first figure pointed out for these required changes by the white fans would be Carlo Ancelotti himself. The current Real Madrid coach remains in the position with the Copa del Rey final as the main milestone on the path, hoping for a victory that will secure him. Only until the end of the current soccer season, as the Club World Cup raises many doubts.

The new competition created by FIFA, which will take place between June and July, could be an excellent opportunity to change the coach. From the offices of Valdebebas, they have not yet made the decision to solve the future of a Carlo Ancelotti who definitively says "no" to the Brazil national team.
