The almost safe change from Carlo Ancelotti to Brazil’s national soccer team apparently threatens to burst on the home stretch. That could affect Leverkusen.
As several Spanish and Brazilian media, including the “Marca” and “O Globo”, the coach of Real Madrid had not signed a contract with the Brazilian Association CBF despite a previously settlement.
After the humiliating 1: 4 in the World Cup qualification, Brazil had separated from Dorival Junior at the archrival Argentina at the end of March. The World Cup participation is within reach for Brazil, but the deficit to the already qualified leader Argentina is already ten points. Since then the association has been looking for a successor – Ancelotti is obviously not.
Already a new candidate in Brazil
The Brazilian portal “O Globo” wrote: “The deal between Carlo Ancelotti and the CBF failed on a big obstacle: Real Madrid.” In Brazil, the Portuguese Jorge Jesus (70/al-Hilal) is now considered a candidate for the coaching post that the South Americans want to have filled up to the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
It was only on Monday evening reported in Spain about an agreement between Ancelotti and the Brazilian association. Accordingly, the 65-year-old, who has not only been criticized for the Madrilenen since the lost cup final against FC Barcelona (2: 3 n. BC), which Selecao is supposed to take over in June.
Slaughter point club World Cup and mega offer from Saudi Arabia?
However, this should be one of the sticking points. According to the “Marca”, the Brazilians were surprised that Ancelotti could only get started in August after the club World Cup in the USA (June 14th to July 13th).
According to media reports, the Starcoach also has an offer of over 50 million euros per season from Saudi Arabia.
By deciding on Ancelotti’s future, the German Double winner Bayer Leverkusen movement could also come to the coaching question. Xabi Alonso is the favorite for the successor to the royal, for whom he was already active as a player. Despite his contract until 2026, he has previously avoided Bayer beyond the summer.
