Ancelotti’s Brazil Dream Falls Apart: What’s Next for the Real Madrid Manager?
Ancelotti’s Brazil Move Crumbles
After months of swirling rumors, it’s official: Carlo Ancelotti won’t be coaching the Brazilian national team. This sudden change leaves everyone wondering what’s next for the Italian manager and his future with Real Madrid.
A Deal Gone Sour
Things were looking good for Ancelotti to take the helm of the South American giants. Reports were strong, and many thought it was just a matter of time. In fact, it was even said he’d already promised the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). But now, with the deal off, confusion and blame-shifting are running rampant.
Clash of Opinions
This wasn’t a simple situation from the start. Ancelotti reportedly told Real Madrid he deserved a severance fee since they were planning to move on from him. Madrid, however, saw things differently. They believed Ancelotti was choosing to leave for another job, not being let go. Club president Florentino Perez even stepped in personally to block the move.
Timing Troubles
Adding fuel to the fire, timing became a major issue. Brazil wanted Ancelotti to start in June, while Real Madrid wanted to keep him until the Club World Cup, their biggest chance at a trophy this season. Brazil couldn’t wait and requested an earlier start, which didn’t sit well with the Spanish club.
The London Meeting
Things got even messier when Ancelotti traveled to London to meet with Brazilian officials and sign the contract. To their surprise, Ancelotti told them he could only join in August, not June as expected. This miscommunication upset everyone involved and created friction between Ancelotti, Real Madrid, and Brazil.
Meanwhile, Ancelotti himself started having second thoughts. He found it hard to picture himself in Brazil, and he was concerned about the lack of stability within the Brazilian football federation. Even people close to him advised against the move, warning it might not be the right fit.
Saudi Arabia Beckons
With Brazil out of the picture and his future at Real Madrid uncertain, a new opportunity has emerged: Saudi Arabia. Reports say Ancelotti has received a massive offer from the Middle East, around €50 million per season after tax. It’s a tempting offer, especially for someone nearing the end of their career.
While nothing is confirmed yet, Saudi Arabia could become Ancelotti’s next destination. With Brazil off the table and Real Madrid looking towards a new era, the decision might come soon.
An Uncertain Future
This sudden turn of events has surprised fans and left many questions about Ancelotti’s future. Will he stay in Europe, or will he accept the record-breaking offer from Saudi Arabia? Only time will tell, but one thing is clear: a big decision is on the horizon for the Italian manager.
