Unrestrained Rant on COPE Against Brazil and Ancelotti, Nacho Peña Explodes

Real Madrid Faces Multiple Dramas to Resolve During the Summer 2025 Transfer Window. One of the most notable is the continuity of Carlo Ancelotti, whose second stint at the helm of the white team seems to be inevitably approaching its end. Everything points, according to several sports media, to it ending on May 25, 2025, when the current league season concludes.

One of the Reasons Carlo Ancelotti is at the center of the Real Madrid debate, besides his future on the local bench at Santiago Bernabéu, is in Brazil. His appointment as the new coach of the Canarinha has sparked all kinds of opinions: the latest is from Nacho Peña on Cadena COPE. The panelist has made his astonishment clear: "I don't understand Brazil's eagerness with Ancelotti".

Meanwhile, his colleagues at COPE reminded him that the verdeamarela team is currently without a coach, Nacho Peña wonders: "How long have they been chasing Carlo Ancelotti, two years, three years?". According to the panelist, the CBF leaders "are already touching it with their fingers. I think Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti himself have been crystal clear...".

Nacho Peña takes advantage of a colleague's interruption on this matter to reformulate his idea, because "you're already touching it with your fingers". Nacho Peña understands that "from one week to two, you're going to have that goal you've been pursuing for three years, why would you blow it up?", he asks. "Why would you push the machine so hard if you're already about to achieve it?".

Very Different Roadmap

The journalist and panelist makes it clear in his intervention on COPE that "I don't understand that extreme pressure when you've had that patience" to make Carlo Ancelotti's appointment a reality. "I know they want him for the advantage over Paraguay and Ecuador, perfect", but the gestures made would be enough to reaffirm the coach's commitment to the Brazilian team.

"It has been completely clear", Nacho Peña recalls about the moves by the Reggiolo coach and the CBF to reach a common point in the negotiations for his arrival. "Wait until Real Madrid is no longer playing for anything in the national league championship and then sign whatever is necessary", Nacho Peña defends regarding this appointment.

"I don't understand this eagerness", the panelist concludes on Cadena COPE, talking about the "rush" the CBF would have to finalize Carlo Ancelotti's appointment as the verdeamarelo coach. Especially when from the Valdebebas offices, they seem to have ruled out the Reggiolo coach's continuity for the next season.

Real Madrid Now Must Resolve the Coach Issue for the Club World Cup. Although the appointment of Xabi Alonso is closer than it seems, the Tolosa coach would have the "preference" to assume his new role after this FIFA competition... a future that the white executives are trying to avoid at all costs.
