Brazil Taps Carlo Ancelotti as New National Team Coach, According to Reports

Get the latest scoop on Carlo Ancelotti leaving Real Madrid, seemingly bound for the Brazilian national team. Multiple Spanish media sources have reported the news on Monday.

Apparently, Ancelotti has a year left on his contract with the Spanish club, but a quarter-final exit in the Champions League against Arsenal, a defeat in the Copa del Rey to rivals Barcelona, and a potential departure was likely after the loss to Barcelona on Saturday, according to our website.

The experienced Italian manager has expressed his intentions, stating that a discussion about his future will take place within the coming weeks. Reports suggest that he will assume his new role ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in June, departing Madrid before the Club World Cup commences in the United States later this summer.

Following Dorival Junior's dismissal after Brazil's significant 4-1 defeat to Argentina in March, Brazil's current fourth place in the South American qualifying standings for the 2026 tournament could be a challenge that Ancelotti is ready to tackle.

During his tenure at Real Madrid, Ancelotti led the team to a Champions League and La Liga double last season, earning him a place amongst the most accomplished coaches in the club's history. He previously guided Real Madrid to their tenth Champions League title, famously known as La Decima.

So far this season, Madrid has shown defensive vulnerabilities, trailing La Liga leaders Barcelona by four points, making a title defence their only remaining chance for significant silverware.
