Carlo Ancelotti has suggested that he is unhappy with the timing of the announcement of Brazil about his appointment as their new manager.
Ancelotti was confirmed on Monday as the boss of the National Team of Brazil and will take on the role on 26 May after the end of the LaLiga season.
The Italian, 65, will be the first foreign head coach of the Brazilian side.
The Brazilian football confederation confirmed in a statement that Ancelotti, who was left for another year at his Real Madrid contract, would join them after the Spanish giants played their last game of the season.
The CBF also thanked Real for their cooperation – but it seems that Ancelotti himself feels uncomfortable with his new employers for their announcement.
Ancelotti said during a press conference on Tuesday: 'If I didn't have this press conference today, it would have been a fantastic day. But in this press conference I have to explain things that I don't want to explain.
“Until the 25th I wear the Real Madrid shirt, which I really respect.”
Ancelotti added that he didn't want someone to ask me for other things, because I respect this sweater a lot and I want to respect it until the last day “but said he was” very happy with everything around me. “
Real has to publicly recognize Ancelotti's departure. The LaLiga side is expected to replace the Italian with Xabi Alonso, who announced that he will leave Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season.
'Real Madrid will release the statement when they want. There is no problem, “said Ancelotti. “They will do it at the right time for Real Madrid and there is nothing else to add.”
Ancelotti will put an end to his second reign in the Spanish capital, after he has added 11 trophies to his shimmering CV, including two Laliga titles, two Champions League crowns and another Copa del Rey.
The announcement came only a day after Real Madrid suffered a 4-3 defeat by Barcelona in El Clasico, which effectively ended their hope for retaining their LaLala crown.
Madrid is seven points behind their bitter rivals with three games to go and needs a miracle to steal their thunder in one way or another.
Ancelotti had come under pressure after a disappointing season according to Madrid's high standards.
They were beaten 5-1 in the quarter-finals of the Champions League by Arsenal, while they also lost in the Spanish Super Cup final and the Copa del Rey final of Barca.
The CBF statement read: 'The CBF is proud to confirm that Carlo Ancelotti will be the next head coach of the Brazilian national football team.
'Mr Ancelotti, a legend of the game as the most successful football history manager, will officially take the lead after the conclusion of the LaLala season 2024/-25, prior to the Brazilian FIFA World Cup qualification registration in June. His official start date 26 May 2025.
'Carlo Ancelotti arrives as the first foreign manager in the history of the Selecao. This monumental moment sees the coming together of two icons -the only five -time FIFA World Cup champions and a coach with an unparalleled record in Europe's Elite competitions.
'The CBF expands his sincere thanks to Real Madrid and Mr Perez for the cordiality and sportiness that are shown in facilitating the release of the coach during his contract term, so that this new chapter can start with mutual respect and cooperation between the teams.
'The Confederation also wants to thank Diego Fernandes who facilitated and led the negotiations with Mr Ancelotti and Real Madrid on behalf of the CBF.
“The CBF warmly welcomes Mr Ancelotti and is looking forward to a new era of success under his leadership.”
Brazil will be looking for their place to seal their place at the World Cup 2026 and to eliminate the title for the first time since 2002.
It has been a turbulent time for the Selecao, which is fourth in the South American World Cup qualification group behind Argentina, Ecuador and Uruguay after the term of office of Dorival Junior.
