Carlo Ancelotti on radar as South American nation sense Real Madrid’s vulnerability | OneFootball

The future of Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid is once again a topic of discussion, particularly with interest growing from the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).

Recent reports from Eduardo Inda suggest that Brazil’s national team is closely monitoring the situation surrounding the experienced Italian manager.

As things stand, there is speculation that next summer could bring an end to Ancelotti’s time at the Santiago Bernabeu, a scenario that has reignited Brazil’s hopes of securing his services.

Brazil NT has a shortlist

Ancelotti is currently facing a season where results will heavily dictate his future. Real Madrid is a club where the expectation to win major titles is ever-present, and failure to deliver could place the manager’s position under scrutiny.

Although his contract with the club extends until 2026, the pressure of managing one of the world’s top clubs is unrelenting. Any lapse in performance could signal the end of his tenure.

The CBF sees Ancelotti as a prime candidate to take over the national team and help Brazil achieve greater success after recent disappointments in major tournaments.

Alongside Ancelotti, Pep Guardiola is reportedly another name being considered, underscoring Brazil’s ambition to bring in a high-profile manager capable of transforming the team.

Ancelotti is committed to Real Madrid

Despite the speculation, Ancelotti remains focused on achieving success this season. He has the support of the dressing room, with players like Vinícius Jr. demonstrating strong backing for their manager.

However, Real Madrid is also planning for the future, with former player Xabi Alonso emerging as a potential successor. The club’s interest in Alonso further fuels rumours of an eventual managerial change.

If Ancelotti manages to secure significant silverware such as La Liga or the Champions League, he is likely to stay at the helm.

However, should he decide to explore new opportunities, Brazil stands ready to approach him for their national team role. For now, both Real Madrid and Brazil are watching closely as this intriguing managerial situation unfolds.
