Wants to fulfill contract
Coach Carlo Ancelotti does not want to give up his contract with Real Madrid, which runs until 2024, although he is flattered by the interest of the Brazilian Football Association. The 63-year-old Italian explained this on Saturday afternoon at the “Royal” press conference before the LaLiga game against Real Valladolid. “Everything is pretty clear: I’ll be here as long as Real Madrid allow me. I feel a lot of affection from the club, from the president, from the fans, from the players. The atmosphere around me is very relaxed and I’m relaxed myself too,” said Ancelotti (quoted via real total).
The veteran continued: “We have two months to win titles. And then hopefully I can stay. I have a contract and I want to fulfill it because I like being at Real Madrid, I like this club. I don’t know anything that can happen after my contract. That’s part of the future and nobody knows the future.” In mid-March, “Bild” and “Sport Bild” reported that ex-national coach Joachim Löw could imagine the job with Brazil.
The 63-year-old is considering succeeding Tite, who left after the quarter-finals at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Since then, the CBF association has been looking for a successor. According to media reports, former Bayern coach Ancelotti was the top candidate for the post, but the South Americans vehemently denied an agreement.
“I like the fact that the Brazilian national team want me and I’m very excited. In addition, one must respect facts, which include a contract that I want to fulfill. I don’t know the President of the Brazilian Football Federation. If he wants to talk to me, I’d be happy,” Ancelotti said. However, the trainer did not want to reveal whether he would end his career after his engagement in Madrid. He also kept a low profile on the seven expiring player contracts. Real are eight points behind leaders FC Barcelona in the table and are still represented in the Copa del Rey and Champions League.
