Overview

  • Carlo Ancelotti has officially declined the Brazil national team coaching role after previously reaching a verbal agreement.
  • The decision was influenced by Real Madrid's stipulation that he remain until after the summer Club World Cup and a lucrative €50 million-per-year offer from an unnamed Saudi Arabian club, which he is now evaluating.
  • Real Madrid is actively preparing for Ancelotti's departure, with Bayer Leverkusen's Xabi Alonso emerging as the favored candidate to succeed him.
  • Brazil's football federation (CBF) is now considering Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus as an alternative for their national team vacancy.
  • Ancelotti's current contract with Real Madrid runs until 2026, but his long-term future with the club remains uncertain following a challenging season.
