Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Carlo Ancelotti has reached a verbal agreement in principle to become the new head coach of the Brazilian national team, starting in June 2024.
Contrary to earlier speculation that the deal would commence after the Club World Cup, the agreement is now expected to take effect earlier, with preparations beginning as soon as May. Ancelotti and Real Madrid will part ways amicably, as both sides have reportedly been open to this transition.
What This Means for Brazil and Real Madrid
– Ancelotti, a highly decorated manager with multiple Champions League titles, will take on his first national team role.
– Brazil, seeking stability after recent managerial changes, will look to Ancelotti to lead them in upcoming tournaments, including the 2026 World Cup.
– Real Madrid will now accelerate their search for a new manager, with potential candidates including Xabi Alonso or a return for Zinedine Zidane.
Next Steps
While the agreement is in place, official confirmation from the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and Real Madrid is still pending. Further details on Ancelotti’s contract and backroom staff are expected in the coming weeks.
