This can be seen as a domino effect after Real Madrid's humiliating defeat to Barca the day before. Because of this defeat, Real Madrid's board of directors decided to speed up the process, appointing coach Alonso as Ancelotti's replacement right after the end of this season.

There has been a lot of information surrounding Ancelotti's choice recently. Initially, the media reported that the Italian strategist would accept to lead the Brazilian team, but only after the end of the FIFA Club World Cup taking place in June - July.

There is also a lot of information that coach Ancelotti is considering going to Saudi Arabia instead of sticking with top-level football.

But in the end, coach Ancelotti chose to lead the Brazilian team. He will leave Real Madrid right after this season ends.

As for Real Madrid, they have almost no goals left for the rest of the season. In La Liga, Real Madrid is 7 points behind Barca and the tournament has only 3 rounds left to end.

European media said that Mr. Ancelotti's contract with the Brazilian Football Federation will only last until the 2026 World Cup.

Mr. Ancelotti's responsibility is extremely heavy, which is to revive a football industry that has been in rapid decline for the past 10 years.

Brazil has stopped at the quarter-finals of two consecutive World Cups, and also failed to win the Copa America in the last two tournaments.

Brazil also did not play well in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. After 14 rounds, they ranked fourth with only 21 points. However, Brazil's loss of a World Cup ticket is still very difficult, because South America has 6 official tickets after the World Cup was expanded to 48 teams.

In March, the Brazilian Football Confederation decided to fire coach Dorival Junior after a shocking 1-4 defeat to Argentina.

Their next match will be an away match against Ecuador, taking place in early June. It is likely to be Ancelotti's debut match.

This year, 65 years old, Coach Ancelotti is considered the most successful strategist today with a huge collection of titles. He has won almost every glory at the club level with teams AC Milan, Chelsea, PSG, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

But this is the first time Mr. Ancelotti has led a national team. With that comes enormous pressure.
