Real Madrid's Elimination at the hands of Arsenal was a very painful blow for the Merengues. It's true that now they have to focus on what's ahead. La Liga, Club World Cup, and the Copa del Rey final are still on the horizon.

However, Carlo Ancelotti's position has been severely affected after this result. It seems that only a full sweep of victories in the remaining competitions could save him in the summer. Although many believe that even then he won't manage to stay at the helm of Real Madrid.

To make matters worse, rumors have surged about the possibility of him becoming Brazil's national team coach. The Canarinha still see him as the best candidate to face upcoming challenges. A presence in the VIP box at Bernabéu has set off alarms.

Watching the Real Madrid – Arsenal match was Diego Fernandes, a Portuguese businessman who could be key. He has very good relations with the CBF and could act as an intermediary. Many think his presence was to try to convince Ancelotti to sign for the Brazilian national team.

Ancelotti's Decisions That Could Cost Him His Continuation at Real Madrid

Madridists have pointed to Ancelotti for the decisions he has made throughout the season. The limited participation of some players like Arda Güler or Endrick, forgetting about the youth academy. Insisting on players like Tchouaméni as a central defender or Alaba as a left-back for important matches.

All this when he has been unable to make the team work, neither in attack nor in defense. They have paid dearly for the disconnections of the forwards not helping in ball recovery. There hasn't been a game plan to reach the opponent's goal and create danger.

Considering the Champions League elimination, his continuity seems complicated. The Brazilian federation wants to take advantage of this and will go after him again. They might even try before the Club World Cup, although that might be very hasty, but not impossible.
