Ancelotti's Unexpected Response to Brazil After Initial Contacts: 'It Will Be...'

After almost two years without hearing rumors about Carlo Ancelotti's future, the Reggiolo coach is once again at the forefront of Madridist news. Now that the first team is in the most challenging part of the 24/25 season, certain rumors about his possible ties with Brazil are resurfacing.

In recent days, there has been speculation about the roadmap planned by the transalpine coach for when his contract with Real Madrid ends, but without success. It was Carlo Ancelotti himself, in a press conference, who completely dismissed all the rumors about his possible departure as coach of the Brazilian national team.

Despite those words from the Madridist coach, Joaquim Piera has revealed that the situation at the top of the CBF hasn't changed at all. This journalist from SPORT recalls that "the president of the CBF loves Carlo Ancelotti" as the new coach of the senior men's Canarinha, a future that the Reggiolo coach would be avoiding.

Meanwhile, Joaquim Piera pointed out on COPE that "this time the contacts will be quick" unlike what happened in the first approach to Carlo Ancelotti. Because "in Brazil, they say they've already contacted the Italian coach and he hasn't said no", perhaps leaving the door open when his contract with Real Madrid ends.

Different Versions

These words from the SPORT journalist, specialized in South American soccer, reopen a debate that seemed settled in the press conference held just yesterday at Ciudad Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti stated that he has a contract with Real Madrid and that, if it were up to him, he would continue for many more years. The final word regarding that decision, as the Italian coach acknowledged, rests with the white leadership.

It's not the first time Real Madrid has had to 'respond' to the CBF's approaches regarding Carlo Ancelotti. This time, the white club warns that they aren't aware of any contacts between their coach and the leaders of the Brazilian Federation, information that would contradict what Piera stated on COPE.

Be that as it may, everything is happening the same way it did at the beginning of 2023. Back then, Real Madrid was going through bad sporting dynamics and one of the big debates was the possible dismissal of Carlo Ancelotti as coach. The move to Brazil appeared as an alternative that offered a 'gentleman's agreement' between Real Madrid and the Italian strategist himself.

Nothing could be further from the truth. In the Valdebebas offices, they fully trust Carlo Ancelotti at the helm of Santiago Bernabéu locker room and will wait for the Reggiolo coach to exhaust his contract dated until 2026. Meanwhile, they are already working on making his succession a reality with Xabi Alonso, the number one and only candidate to take that position immediately after.
