Carlo Ancelotti linked with Brazil job as Real Madrid triumph in Copa del Rey

Carlo Ancelotti’s future at Real Madrid is uncertain despite the club’s Copa del Rey triumph on Saturday night. The Italian manager has been linked with the Brazilian national team job following their disappointing performance at the 2022 World Cup.

According to reports, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has identified Ancelotti as their top target to replace Tite, who has come under intense scrutiny following Brazil’s early exit from the World Cup. The CBF is said to be impressed with Ancelotti’s managerial credentials and his track record of success with top European clubs.

Ancelotti, who returned to Real Madrid last summer for his second spell at the club, has yet to comment on the rumors linking him with the Brazil job. However, he has previously expressed his admiration for Brazilian football and its rich history.

If Ancelotti were to leave Real Madrid for Brazil, it would be a major blow for the Spanish giants, who are looking to rebuild their squad following a disappointing season. Ancelotti has been credited with bringing stability and a sense of calm to the Real Madrid dressing room, and his departure could disrupt the team’s progress.

For now, Ancelotti’s future remains uncertain, and it remains to be seen whether he will be tempted by the prospect of managing one of the world’s most successful footballing nations.
