Brazil Accepts Ancelotti's Conditions and His Departure from Real Madrid Has a Date

The Italian coach will meet with the CBF when LaLiga ends and his commitment with Real Madrid is over

The future of Carlo Ancelotti already has a clear horizon. The Italian coach, current manager of Real Madrid, will join the Brazilian national team once the LaLiga season ends.

This has been confirmed by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), which has accepted all the conditions set by the Reggiolo coach.

Ancelotti has made it clear from the start that his priority is to fulfill his contract with Real Madrid. He doesn't want to commit before his tenure at the white club ends.

In Brazil, they have understood. Ednaldo Rodrigues, president of the CBF, has decided to respect the coach's timeline and wait until the end of the campaign.

The date marked in red is May 12, right after the Clásico against Barcelona. On that day, Brazil hopes to seal the definitive agreement. According to sources close to the organization, it is a "firm" date, although they do not rule out renegotiating it if necessary.

The atmosphere in the CBF has completely changed. What was once uncertainty is now confidence. Ancelotti is closer than ever to leading the Canarinha.

In Brazil, they are already working under the premise that the Italian will be their next coach.

Jorge Jesus Out of the Race

Jorge Jesus, Portuguese coach and alternative in case Ancelotti fails, is left without options. Despite his interest, the CBF has bet everything on the Real Madrid manager.

Even from Saudi Arabia, where Jesus was managing Al Hilal, they were keeping an eye. But his dismissal after several poor results has cut off any possibility.

Meanwhile, his entourage remains alert from Rio de Janeiro in case of a last-minute twist. However, everything points to Jorge Jesus's name being off the board.

Abel Ferreira, Only as a Last Option

The name of Abel Ferreira, Palmeiras's coach, continues to be mentioned as a possible plan C. However, Leila Pereira, the club's president, has been blunt.

No one from the CBF has contacted them. And she has assured that her intention is to renew the Portuguese coach until 2027.

Ednaldo Rodrigues is clear: he wants Ancelotti. The verbal agreement already exists. All that remains is for the Italian to be free to sign.
