Carlo Ancelotti has travelled to London to meet the Brazilian Federation, but according to Marca, the Italian tactician has ultimately decided to reject their offer.
Spanish newspaper Marca provides surprising updates on Italian coach Ancelotti.
Multiple sources claimed over the last few days that the Italian tactician had agreed to become the Brazil coach, as Real Madrid were going to sack him at the end of the season.
Ancelotti had travelled to London to meet the Brazilian Federation and sign his contract, but according to Marca, he informed CBF President Ednaldo Rodrigues that he would not accept the offer.
The Spanish newspaper quotes sources close to the negotiations saying that Ancelotti has made it clear that he will not sign with Brazil.
Ancelotti sudden turnaround on Brazil
According to the report, Ancelotti has not yet reached an agreement to terminate his contract with Real Madrid in June, but he has also received a €50m-a-year offer from a Saudi side, which convinced him to reject the offer from Brazil.
According to Marca, Ancelotti’s decision is irreversible.
The Italian tactician’s contract with Real Madrid expires in 2026, and the ex-Milan and Roma midfielder will have to clarify the financial details of his exit from the club in the coming weeks.
What Ancelotti said about his future
The Italian tactician has spoken about his future many times in recent weeks, especially after the Champions League exit at the hands of Arsenal earlier this month.
Questioned about his fate at the end of the second leg quarter-final tie against the Gunners, Ancelotti said: “I don’t know it and I don’t want to know it. I won’t leave unless they push me out.”
“And when I leave, in ten days, one month or a year, you’ll only hear a word from me: thanks.”
Ancelotti has won three Champions League titles in Madrid, two in his second spell, which began in 2021.
Phew, thank God!
Why would he want to be Brazil manager now? They have one of their worst teams ever.
I really hope this does not happen . He should never ever coach Brazil . Italy first if he goes to national team not help Brazil
This makes me happy – Ancelotti should team up with Spalletti to get Italy into the World Cup! On another note, Chiesa also needs to get onto a team where he may actually play so we can use him at the WC as well.
