Carlo Ancelotti, the esteemed manager of Real Madrid, has announced he will depart the club at the conclusion of the current season to assume the role of head coach for the Brazilian national football team. The 65-year-old will officially start his duties on May 26, following the completion of La Liga.
Ancelotti’s tenure at Real Madrid has been marked by remarkable success, with 15 trophies secured across two separate periods of management. Under his guidance, the team achieved a prestigious Champions League and La Liga double last season. However, the circumstances surrounding his departure are bittersweet; following a recent loss to Barcelona in El Clasico, Real Madrid finds itself trailing by seven points in the league standings with only three matches left to play. This defeat has all but sealed the club’s first trophy-less season in four years.
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is seeking new leadership after parting ways with former coach Dorival Jr. after a disappointing qualifying campaign, which included a heavy defeat to Argentina. Ancelotti’s arrival is being viewed as a timely opportunity to rejuvenate the Brazilian squad, aiming to improve their performance in upcoming qualifying matches against Ecuador and Paraguay.
Fans are hopeful that Ancelotti’s strategic expertise and previous success will provide the national team with a much-needed turnaround as they seek to reclaim their status in global football. His ability to inspire and improve teams has been proven in the past, and Brazilian supporters are looking forward to the fresh direction he will bring.
As both Ancelotti and Brazil step into this new chapter, the upcoming months are filled with potential for uplifting moments and revitalized passion in the beautiful game.
