Brazil have been courting Carlo Ancelotti since the beginning of 2023, but as the year comes to a close, it looks as if the Selecao may lose out on the Real Madrid coach.
The Italian manager remarked on Saturday that he would wait until the last day for Real Madrid if there was a chance they wanted to keep him, in spite of reports from Brazil that they were confident of Ancelotti joining them at the end of the season. CBF President Ednaldo Rodrigues has publicly remarked in the past that he would be their coach too.
However Relevo say that Real Madrid have come to the conclusion that they do in fact want Ancelotti to continue at the helm, and will offer him a two-year contract extension until 2026. They are keen to wrap up the deal before 2024, giving them some stability in the final months of the season.
For his part, the report claims that Ancelotti is true to his word, and will prioritise Los Blancos ahead of Brazil.
