The future of Carlo Ancelotti has apparently been clarified. The Italian leaves real and already has a connection job.
Real Madrid is apparently faced with a change of coach: According to a report by the portal “The Athletic”, Carlo Ancelotti should leave the Top Club early and take over the office of Brazilian national coach. Accordingly, the 65-year-old has already signed a contract and begins on May 26th.
The successor to the royal people seems to be regulated: Xabi Alonso, currently still a coach of Bayer Leverkusen, is already planned for the upcoming World Cup in the USA as head coach of Real Madrid. So far, there is no official confirmation for Alonso’s change. In Leverkusen, the Spaniard was already adopted after winning the championship and DFB Cup.
Ancelotti’s farewell is not surprising – the current season is disappointing for Real Madrid. In the Champions League, the team failed in the quarter -finals against Arsenal, in the cup final was lost to arch -rival Barça. Barcelona is also clearly in front in the league. It was only last Sunday that Real lost a spectacular Clásico with 3: 4 against Hansi Flick’s team.
Already last year there were rumors about Ancelotti’s commitment to the “Seleção”. At that time, the Italian had decided to remain in Madrid. Finally, he is said to have received a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia.
Ancelotti returned to Real Madrid for the second time in 2021. Under its leadership, the club won the Spanish championship and the Champions League again – a total of five times in Europe’s premier class, twice with AC Milan and three times with Real Madrid.
The Italians also celebrated success at FC Bayern: in 2017 he became German champion with the Munich club. So far, he has been unique with titles in all five large European leagues.
The Brazilian national team has been in a difficult phase for a long time. The association of coach Dorival Júnior only separated in March.
