Carlo Ancelotti is described in “ongoing” conversations with the Brazilian Football Agency (CBF), who has warned the Real Madrid manager that they want a decision about its future by May 20.
Ancelotti is expected to leave Madrid this month after he had supervised a disappointing season after the almost impossible standards of the club, which included the early Champions League excretion and the deficit of rival Barcelona in the final phases of the title race of La Liga.
The Italian won two rare La Liga and Champions League in his first three seasons after returning to Madrid in 2021 La Decima That had escaped the club for over a decade.
Madrid wants Xabi Alonso to be the next permanent head coach, but it should prepare for the former boss Santiago Solari to cover the FIFA Club World Championship next month in the meantime.
Ancelotti entered the World Cup in 2026 as Brazil’s new boss after being overwhelmed by the Federation very publicly before signing his last Madrid Treaty in 2023, but the negotiations collapsed at the beginning of this week and it looked as if things could collapse completely.
AP Quoters a source on the CBF, in which he explains: “It is clear that it has not made any agreement with no one for the moment.”
Brazil hopes to officially name a new trainer by May 20 if the squad is announced for the next series of World Cup qualifications. But with Ancelotti under contract with Madrid and still not a fixed date, if the club were formally released, with the possibility that they do not even make things complicated in view of the fact that Brazil’s interest could even cause compensation.
It was assumed that Ancelotti could lose his job after the recent Copa del Rey final against Barcelona, regardless of whether Madrid won – which they didn’t do. But that has come and gone. He was able to stay on the spot until La Liga ends and ends on May 25th, but that’s a period of time after Brazil’s period.
There is a theory that a defeat against Barcelona in a title-racial, defining Clasico on May 11 could arrange a easily evaluating departure before the campaign is completely over. Should Barca win this game, it would almost certainly guarantee that the trophy will return to Catalonia. However, the victory for Madrid would reduce the gap to practically nothing and instead put enormous pressure on Barcelona.
