Unfounded Speculation Regarding Carlo Ancelotti's Future Location Exists Again
A Twist in Carlo Ancelotti's Coach Carousel
Sayonara, Real? Not so fast, Brazil!
Carlo Ancelotti, the 65-year-old Italian tactician, is no longer poised to helm Brazil's football national team, as he's reportedly rejected the offer.previously speculated to sign a pact in London. Seems like Real's reluctance to shell out a severance payment for an early departure from Madrid played a significant role in Ancelotti altering his plans[1]. His contract with the Spanish capital titans runs through June 2026[2].
Drought in the Desert?
Tempting offers don't scare Ancelotti. Reports hint at the Italian entertainting an intriguing proposition from Saudi Arabia, with a whopping annual salary of €50 million waiting in the Middle East's arid landscape[3].
In need of a new coach ahead of the upcoming World Cup qualifiers slated for early June, the Brazilians are now looking at Portuguese Jorge Jesus, the current manager of Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia[3].
The future of Ancelotti and Real Madrid still hangs in the balance. His second stint in Madrid's heart began during the summer of 2021[2]. A premature end this summer may not raise many eyebrows given the disheartening 2024/25 season, where Real Madrid is struggling to secure major silverware. The ex-Italian national player boasts an impressive resume, having won the Champions League a mind-boggling five times (twice with Milan, thrice with Real) and league titles across Europe's major leagues[1].
