The future of Carlo Ancelotti has been clarified. The Italian leaves real and already has a connection job – in South America.
Real Madrid is about to change coaches: Carlo Ancelotti will leave the top Spanish club prematurely. As the Brazilian Football Association CBF confirmed on Monday afternoon, the Italian will take up the office of Brazilian national coach from May 26th. Even if Real Madrid has not yet commented, Ancelotti’s departure among the “royal” is probably clear.
The Brazilian association, meanwhile, rejoiced to Brazil as a coach as a trainer, is more than a strategic step. It is a statement to the world that we are determined to recapture the top place on the podium ” – to become world champion, the CBF said. “He is the biggest coach in history and now leads the largest selection team in the world. Together we will write new, glorious chapters for Brazilian football,” it said.
Ancelotti’s change 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.
