Carlo Ancelotti’s Loyalty to Real Madrid: No Agreement with Any Team!
In Italy, reports suggest Carlo Ancelotti is hesitant about his future, torn between Real Madrid, Brazil, and Italian options, having not signed any contract yet.
According to reports, Carlo Ancelotti is currently at the center of transfer news. The Brazilian Football Federation, led by Ednaldo Rodrigues, is urgently trying to recruit him to manage the struggling Brazil national team. Brazil has faced instability since Tite’s departure, with three unsuccessful coaches (Menezes, Diniz, and Dorival), and Rodrigues sees Ancelotti as the team’s savior.
It is said that an agreement for him to join in June 2026 for two crucial matches against Ecuador and Paraguay has been finalized. However, Ancelotti is in no rush, and his loyalty to Real Madrid, a club he loves, prevents him from making an early decision.
Ancelotti, with 14 months remaining on his Real Madrid contract, has stated he will only consider his future if dismissed by the club. He awaits a discussion with Florentino Perez, Real Madrid’s president, whose timing remains uncertain. Until then, neither Brazil nor any other offer is his priority.
Ancelotti has dismissed social media rumors about an agreement with Brazil, emphasizing his focus on Real Madrid, especially until the end of La Liga on May 25 and the decisive El Clásico on May 11. Real Madrid leads Barcelona by four points in the title race, and Ancelotti is fully committed to this goal.
Meanwhile, two Italian clubs, AC Milan and Roma, have also been linked with Ancelotti. While they could tempt him with nostalgia, this scenario remains unlikely. On the other hand, Real Madrid views Xabi Alonso, the successful coach of Bayer Leverkusen, as a potential successor. Florentino Perez, who plays a key role in this saga, controls the timing and decisions, with the future of this triangle between Spain, Brazil, and Germany depending on his choices.
Ancelotti has clearly stated that unless Real Madrid dismisses him, he will not commit to Brazil or any other team. He refuses to jeopardize his deep relationship with Real Madrid, which includes two managerial stints, three Champions League titles, and countless successes.
Loyalty is Ancelotti’s defining trait, and even if he departs, he will bid farewell to Real Madrid with respect. Some believe he may one day return as honorary president. Meanwhile, the pressured Brazilian Federation is using rumors and premature news to accelerate the process, but Ancelotti remains unmoved. His future remains uncertain, but until La Liga concludes, Real Madrid remains his sole priority.
