It’s been strongly rumored that Brazil has an agreement in the pipeline for Carlo Ancelotti to helm their team starting next summer. However, Real Madrid is keen on retaining Ancelotti, despite his current contract ending soon.
Sources reveal that there’s a preliminary understanding for Ancelotti to take charge of Brazil after he leaves Madrid. While this arrangement seems set, Real Madrid is not ruling out the possibility of extending Ancelotti’s tenure and offering him a new deal.
The club’s leadership has been exploring alternatives in case Ancelotti departs, considering figures like Raul, Xabi Alonso, and Roberto De Zerbi. Nevertheless, the current playing squad at Madrid has expressed a strong desire for Ancelotti to continue as coach.
The Real Madrid hierarchy acknowledges Ancelotti’s positive rapport with the squad, especially with young talents like Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, and Aurelien Tchouameni. They are aware that a coaching change might cause avoidable disruptions, considering the impending additions like Endrick, Kylian Mbappe, and Alphonso Davies in 2024.
Given Ancelotti’s exceptional man-management skills, Madrid sees his influence as crucial, and discussions regarding a potential contract extension have already commenced, set to intensify as 2024 approaches.
