Carlo Ancelotti was the first foreign manager of the Brazilian men’s national team to be announced before his upcoming exit from Real Madrid.
The future of the Italian trainer has been in the air since Madrid from Arsenal was expelled from the quarter -finals of the Champions League. Initial reports sensationally indicate that Ancelotti could be released before the campaign was completed, but the forces that are with the Spanish giants made it possible for their trophy trainer to monitor two further defeats by the Clasico.
After the Copa del Rey end loss of the last month, Ancelotti’s team gave a 2-0 lead over 4: 3 against Barcelona on Sunday. The defeat was enough for the Catalan the title La Liga, which could already be decided on Wednesday evening if Madrid Mallorca did not defeat.
After rampant speculations that linked him to him and then distanced him from the free position as quickly as Brazil’s manager, the Football Association (CBF) officially announced its appointment on Monday afternoon.
“The CBF is proud to confirm that Carlo Ancelotti will be the next head coach of the Brazilian National Football team,” says a statement.
“Mr. Ancelotti, a legend of the game as the most successful manager in football history, will officially take responsibility after the end of the 2024/25 season in front of the FIFA qualification campaign of the FIFA World Championship in the LA LIGA in June 26, 2025.
“Carlo Ancelotti is the first foreign manager in the history of Selecao. At this pioneering moment, two icons come together -the only five -time FIFA world champion and a trainer with an incomparable record in the European Elite competitions.
“The CBF warmly welcomes Mr. Ancelotti and is looking forward to a new era of success under his leadership.”
Ancelotti had another year in his Real Madrid Treaty and the CBF extended his “sincere gratitude for Real Madrid and MR [Florentino] Perez [club president] For the warmth and sportiness, which shows that he facilitates the release of the trainer during his contract time and that this new chapter begins with mutual respect and cooperation between the team. “
It is generally expected that the outgoing tactician of Xabi Alonso in Real Madrid will be replaced. After the official announcement of his decision to resign this summer as Bayer Leverkusen this summer – one year before the end of his contract – it was almost confirmed that Madrid’s former midfielder would return to Santiago Bernabeu.
Shortly before Ancelotti’s confirmed exit, reports claimed that Alonso would be able to take over Madrid for the club’s World Cup and remove the need for an interim trainer.
