Carlo Ancelotti to leave Real Madrid with Italian manager set to take charge of Brazil

Carlo Ancelotti to leave Real Madrid with Italian manager set to take charge of Brazil

Carlo Ancelotti’s second spell in charge of Real Madrid will come to an end at the end of the season with the Italian set to become the new coach of of Brazil.


Ancelotti’s contract at the Bernabeu expires in 2026, but The Athletic reports that a decision has been made on his future.

Madrid were beaten 3-2 in Saturday’s Copa del Rey final by arch-rivals Barcelona and were knocked out of the Champions League by Arsenal earlier this month.

They sit four points adrift of Barca in the LaLiga standings with five games remaining, and those are set to be the final matches of his tenure.

Brazil have been working hard to appoint him as soon as possible, and the Athletic report states that they will do so once the league campaign finishes, meaning he will not be in charge during this summer’s Club World Cup.

Diego Fernandes, an intermediary for the Brazilian FA, was once again spotted in attendance at Saturday’s final in Sevilla and is understood to have held talks with Ancelotti over succeeding Dorival Junior who was sacked in the wake of his country’s 4-1 humiliation at the hands of rivals Argentina in World Cup qualifying last month.

Fernandes has been spending much time in Spain over the last few months in an attempt to persuade Ancelotti to become Brazil boss before the World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay in June, and miss Madrid’s appearance in the Club World Cup.

Former Real star and current Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso is being tipped to succeed the 65-year-old.
