The Brazilian Football Federation is waiting as Real Madrid and head coach Carlo Ancelotti settle the terms of his departure. Ancelotti is expected to become Brazil’s new head coach.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Brazil has agreed with Ancelotti to become their national team manager, but the move is delayed. The next step depends on Real Madrid and Ancelotti clarifying when and how he will leave the club. Although Ancelotti and Madrid have a good relationship, the situation is not fully resolved yet.
He is expected to leave when the current La Liga season ends, and the Brazilian Federation is ready to act once his departure is official.
THE CURRENT SITUATION AT REAL MADRID
Real Madrid’s season has not met expectations. They were eliminated in the Champions League quarterfinals by Arsenal and have lost key matches to Barcelona, including in the Copa del Rey. Their main hope is winning La Liga, with an upcoming match against Barcelona being critical. No matter the result, Ancelotti is set to leave this summer, even if they win the league title.
Xabi Alonso is expected to replace Ancelotti for the next season.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR BRAZIL AND WHAT’S NEXT?
The Brazilian national team wants Ancelotti to take over soon, but his exact start date depends on the end of Madrid’s league campaign. Reports say Ancelotti will travel to Brazil for friendly matches after leaving Spain, starting his new role with the five-time world champions.
Real Madrid’s next match against Barcelona is crucial. The result could affect Ancelotti’s leaving date. For now, Brazil is waiting for Madrid and Ancelotti to finalize details. They expect the transition to finish in the coming weeks as they prepare for future matches and competitions.
