Famous journalist Fabrizio Romano, a football transfer expert, revealed the fate of Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, after the recent loss in the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona. This heavy defeat, which ended with a 3-2 victory for the Catalan team in the Clasico, is seen as a turning point that could lead to the end of Ancelotti's tenure at Santiago Bernabéu.
Ancelotti in a Difficult Position After the Loss to Barcelona
According to what Romano mentioned in his report, Ancelotti is close to leaving the royal team following the shocking loss to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final. This crushing defeat has raised many questions about the Italian coach's continuity with the club, especially given the team's decline in performance in some key matches this season.
Although Ancelotti still enjoys great popularity at the club due to his past achievements, such as winning the Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup, recent defeats in major games, especially the loss in the Clasico, have cast doubt on his future with Real Madrid.
The Brazilian Football Federation Watches Ancelotti's Future
Meanwhile, the Brazilian Football Federation is awaiting Real Madrid's decision regarding Ancelotti’s future, as the Italian coach is considered the top candidate to take over as the coach of the Brazilian national team. Many reports suggest that the Brazilian federation may take serious steps to negotiate with Ancelotti following the current decline in the performance of the Brazilian national team, especially after their early exit from the last World Cup.
The Brazilian federation appears to be growing optimistic about hiring Ancelotti, as reports suggest that the Italian coach has previously shown interest in taking on the job. Although Brazil has not officially reached out to the coach yet, the federation is closely monitoring the relationship between Ancelotti and Real Madrid.
Ancelotti: "I Have a Contract with Real Madrid"
In previous statements at a press conference before Real Madrid’s match against Leganés in La Liga, Ancelotti confirmed that he does not recall discussing coaching the Brazilian national team with Brazilian football legend Ronaldo. He added: "Ronaldo said he tried to bring me to coach the Brazilian team, but I don’t remember discussing this with him." He confirmed that the Brazilian federation has not contacted him yet about coaching the team.
Ancelotti reiterated that he remains committed to his contract with Real Madrid and stated that there is nothing new to add regarding his future at the moment. He said: "I have a contract with Real Madrid, and I love Brazil, its players, and its fans, but I am sticking to my contract with the Spanish club."
Brazil Searches for Alternatives and Monitors Other Coaches
At the same time, the Brazilian federation is closely monitoring the situation, keeping track of developments with other coaches in the Saudi Pro League and major European leagues. Among these coaches are Portuguese Jorge Jesus, the current manager of Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, and Abel Ferreira, the coach of Brazilian team Palmeiras. Both are considered alternative options in case an agreement with Ancelotti fails.
Florentino Pérez Under Pressure
Amid these developments, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez is facing increasing pressure to make a decision about the future of the Italian coach. Pérez fully understands that any decision to dismiss Ancelotti would significantly affect the team’s course in the near future, especially with fierce competition in La Liga and the Champions League.
Ancelotti Under Fire
On the other hand, there have been sharp criticisms of Ancelotti due to the team's underwhelming performance in some important matches. Although the team remains in the top positions in La Liga, the drop in performance in major matches such as the Clasico and the Copa del Rey final has shown that there is a flaw in the team’s style of play and a lack of effective tactics at times.
A Serious Crisis at Real Madrid
In addition to the loss in the Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid is also dealing with reports of declining performances from several of its key players, which increases concern about the team’s future results. Key players such as Karim Benzema and Vinícius Júnior, who were instrumental in the team's success in previous seasons, are experiencing a drop in form, which has directly impacted the team’s results in recent matches.
In Conclusion: Open Options for Ancelotti
Ancelotti's position with Real Madrid remains uncertain at this time, and speculation about his future continues. While the Brazilian federation closely monitors the situation, the question remains: Will Ancelotti leave Real Madrid to begin a new chapter with the Brazilian national team, or will president Florentino Pérez decide to give him more time in an attempt to fix the situation? The coming weeks could be decisive in determining the Italian coach's future with the royal club, and whether he will take on the challenge of coaching the Brazilian team in the near future.
