There are increasing signs of a spectacular turnaround in the coaching bench at Champions League record winners Real Madrid. Although Carlo Ancelotti’s move to Selecao has already been announced by the Brazilian association president, the Italian is now said to have presented the royals with his conditions for a further contract extension.
At the beginning of July, the head of the Brazilian Football Association went out on a limb and announced that Carlo Ancelotti would take over the Selecao after the 2024 Copa America. A statement that Ednaldo Rodrigues may soon have to retract.
According to Spanish media, Ancelotti’s move to the Brazilian national team is anything but fixed. On the contrary. According to “Relevo”, the Italian has now given the royal team three conditions under which he would extend his contract, which expires in 2024.
Ancelotti’s demands on Real Madrid
Ancelotti’s first demand is therefore to sign a new central defender. The position is not bad at the Royals, but it is not particularly well-filled. Eder Militao’s torn cruciate ligament has forced the coach to improvise several times this season.
In addition, according to the report, Ancelotti is also demanding a new right-back. Ex-Leverkusen player Dani Carvajal is more or less the sole entertainer there. The coach finally wants strong competition for the now 31-year-old.
Last but not least, the Real coach should also tie his extension to the future of Toni Kroos. He is said to be demanding that Los Blancos present the German playmaker with a new contract. Kroos’ current working paper also expires in 2024. Without him, according to the “Relevo” report, Ancelotti will not start the coming season.
