By the time Carlo Ancelotti left Real Madrid, he was already announced as the new manager of Brazil. With the time of the Italian, and both Ancelotti and Real Madrid Planning for the future at the end of April, a rather unusual situation took place.
Despite the radio silence of the club and the denominations of Ancelotti, the Italian coach was in conversation with Brazil and she was their manager and Los Blancos contacted Xabi Alonso about taking over. The moment Brazil was in the charm offensive and intermediary Diego Fernandes was a consistent presence in the Santiago Bernabeu.
Fernandes, a Brazilian businessman who is close to the Brazilian football confederation (CBF), but without an official role in Madrid stayed in an attempt to close a deal between Ancelotti and Brazil. When the deal was closed, Fernandes was depicted with Ancelotti and transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano called him 'worrying for conversations'.
As sport has explained, FIFA has opened an investigation into the negotiation and they demanded that the CBF will explain the committee of € 1.2 million to Fernandes. The Catalan explains every day that he had been contracted by the CBF and his name functions in Ancelotti's contract.
The core of the problem is that Fernandes is not a registered FIFA agent and therefore not allowed to approach Ancelotti on behalf of Brazil. Sport quote information from Uol Esporte, who say that the FIFA has demanded an explanation of the CBF before June 4, the day before Ancelotti's Brazil debut against Ecuador.
Ancelotti stands for a difficult start on the field. They will play against Ecuador in Quito and then organize Paraguay the next week. The former occupied second place in the South American qualifying table and has only lost twice. In the meantime, Paraguay is a place behind Brazil and level on points. They have not lost under the current manager Gustavo Alfaro and defeated Argentina in November. Ancelotti has only a year to get Brazil in shape to challenge the World Cup the next summer for the World Cup.
