Real Madrid Confidencial Brazil's Last Call to Ancelotti, His Future at Real Madrid Up in the Air: 'Still
Cafú, legend of the national team, shows his desire for Ancelotti to become the coach of the five-time champion
Carlo Ancelotti remains the main desire of the Brazilian Football Confederation to take over the 'canarinha' bench.
Although the Italian coach has a contract with Real Madrid until June 2026, the pressure from Brazil doesn't cease. The last one to speak has been a true legend: Cafú.
The former full-back, world champion in 1994 and 2002, has once again referred to Ancelotti at the Laureus Awards gala held in Madrid.
Cafú, always smiling, doesn't hide that the Brazilian national team dreams of having the Madrid coach: “We still haven't decided if it will be Ancelotti or someone else. But it needs to be solved now.”
"Brazil Needs a Decision"
Cafú acknowledges the uncertainty caused by the situation. “Brazil is the only team with five World Cups. That greatness demands having clarity on who will lead the team,” he comments.
In his opinion, Ancelotti's name is more than justified: “He wins wherever he goes. He did it at Milan, he does it at Real Madrid... If he comes to Brazil, we'll welcome him with open arms.”
It's not the first time Cafú acts as a silent ambassador for the project. He believes that the union between the Italian coach and the Brazilian national team would be perfect.
“Imagine Ancelotti winning the sixth World Cup with Brazil. It would be something historic for him and for us,” he says enthusiastically.
Although his signing hasn't been confirmed, Brazil remains firm in their pursuit. They want the Reggiolo coach as soon as possible. Real Madrid, for now, clings to the contract signed after the last renewal.
Support for Vinicius and Rodrygo
Cafú also took the opportunity to talk about the Brazilians at Real Madrid, especially Vinicius and Rodrygo.
“They are key for the team. They've been performing at a high level for a long time. It's normal for them to go through slumps, but they remain very important for Ancelotti,” he assures.
Regarding the frustrated desire to wear white, Cafú recalled that he was close to Real Madrid in the 90s. “The club wanted me, but São Paulo didn't let me leave. In the end, it was Vítor who ended up going, although he only played three games,” he confesses.
Ancelotti's future remains hanging in the air. Brazil wants him now. Madrid, for the moment, doesn't let him go. Will this be the last call?
