Florentino's Response on Ancelotti-Brazil Agreement, Real Madrid Reacts

One of the  unexpected sagas Real Madrid has to deal with in recent hours is the possible departure of Carlo Ancelotti. The Reggiolo coach, although he has a contract with the merengue entity until the summer of 2026, is once again in the spotlight of the Brazilian national team as a future coach.

These rumors are not new in the Valdebebas offices, since the CBF launched a striking "campaign" to secure the football services of the Reggiolo coach in 2023. Given the poor situation of the team at those moments of the 22/23 season, everything seemed prepared for the Italian coach's departure.

Nothing could be further from the truth: the executives led by Florentino Pérez trust Carlo Ancelotti and have decided to extend his contract until the summer of 2026 as an unequivocal sign. But the renewed interest from Brazil leaves room for speculation placing the Italian strategist far from the Spanish capital at the end of the current soccer season, enabling his succession.

Once again, Real Madrid takes action to respond to rumors that have quickly grown in recent hours. The information published by Mario Cortegana indicates that the white leaders are not aware of any contact between the Brazilian Federation and Carlo Ancelotti's entourage these days. Therefore, they would have nothing to add regarding, once again, rumors questioning the Italian coach's future.

Immediate Response

From the Valdebebas offices, according to the journalist from "The Athletic," they are clear that Carlo Ancelotti only thinks about Real Madrid. Especially now that the first team is already immersed in the most challenging part of the current season: the white players could win the first treble in the team's history.

That's also why this saga has been solved so quickly from the white leadership. The stability of the team comes first, and at the same time, they have made clear their stance as a club regarding the debate about one of their most important and appreciated employees right now. Carlo Ancelotti's future, however, still raises some doubts.

This renewed interest from Brazil revives some debates experienced during the 22/23 campaign. The Reggiolo coach, after finishing his stage at Real Madrid, has the option to lead the Brazilian national team... but he could also join the plethora of coaches and players who have chosen to move to Saudi Arabia after completing their cycle in European soccer's elite.

His departure toward the Saudi Pro League, according to the testimony of several renowned journalists, is not the most favored option for the Reggiolo coach. But he doesn't rule it out, given that his time on the local bench at Santiago Bernabéu is ending... and he doesn't have a project prepared for when that moment arrives.
