Ancelotti agrees to coach the Brazilian national team.

Carlo Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid to take on the role of head coach of the Brazilian national team before the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 kicks off on June 14th.

Ancelotti promises to bring a breath of fresh air to the "Selecao" in their quest to conquer the 2026 World Cup.

This information was revealed by Globo and AS , following a meeting between Ancelotti's representatives and the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) earlier this week. Ancelotti's decision to leave Real Madrid is not surprising to many, especially given the club's recent poor performance in La Liga.

However, his contract with Real Madrid runs until 2026, and the Italian coach initially wanted to lead the club to the FIFA Club World Cup this summer before saying goodbye. Nevertheless, recent tense developments behind the scenes at Real Madrid have led him to reconsider his future.

Previously, Marca reported that coach Ancelotti could even be sacked this month if Real Madrid dropped points in the La Liga race or lost to Barca in the Copa del Rey final on April 27th. Sources indicated that Xabi Alonso, the coach of Bayer Leverkusen, was the leading candidate to replace Ancelotti, while Sporting Director Santiago Solari could take on the interim role at Real.

Ancelotti's arrival in Brazil will mark his first time managing a national team, after more than three decades coaching top clubs such as AC Milan, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich. With his existing relationships with Brazilian stars like Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, and Eder Militao, Ancelotti is expected to create a cohesive and highly competitive Selecao.

Fans are waiting to see if "Don Carlo" can repeat the miracle and bring Brazil back to the top of the world . The CBF has long considered Ancelotti the number one candidate for the national team coach position. Previously, the CBF sacked coach Dorival Junior after the 1-4 defeat against Argentina in the World Cup qualifiers in March.

They sent representatives to Madrid to approach Ancelotti immediately after Real Madrid's defeat to Arsenal in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. The Brazilian Football Confederation wants Ancelotti to start working with the Brazilian national team as soon as possible, with the 2026 World Cup just over a year away.

Valverde's spectacular goal secured 3 points for Real Madrid. In the early hours of April 21st, Valverde unleashed a superb volley in the third minute of added time, helping "Los Blancos" defeat Athletic Bilbao 1-0.
