Carlo Ancelotti has regularly been associated with leaving his position as head coach of Real Madrid in the last 12-18 months, both on his own will and through a dismissal. For now he continues in the Santiago Bernabeu, although it is expected that he will not last longer than the duration of his current contract, which ends in the summer of 2026.
For many months between 2022 and 2023, Ancelotti was strongly connected to the management position of the National Team of Brazil. In the end he rejected that interest in signing a new contract with Real Madrid, but now that the Selecao has said goodbye to Dorival Junior in recent weeks, the chance could occur again.
And according to relevant it is one that Ancelotti would be willing to take. He is open to managing Brazil, although it would only happen if he were fired by Real Madrid – which could happen at the end of the season if Los Blancos ended up in La Liga, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey.
For now, Ancelotti is not under pressure in Real Madrid, even after the disappointing 2-1 home defeat on Saturday by Valencia. There is still faith in him that he can turn things around in La Liga, and in the Champions League they are considered one of the favorites to retain the title they won in June.
It is no secret that Real Madrid wants to hire Xabi Alonso as their next manager, but there is no hurry to do this. It will only happen if Ancelotti goes, which could certainly happen this summer. And if that were the case, it would be no surprise to see that the Italian finds his way to South America.
