According to reports, the unusual circumstances surrounding the Club World Cup this season have led to rare situations in football. One of the most notable developments is the early managerial changes for four participating teams, including Real Madrid.

Ancelotti, who will remain in charge of Real Madrid until May 25, has already been announced as the new head coach of the Brazil national team. He is set to announce the squad list on May 26 in Rio de Janeiro. Until then, he will travel with his current team, including his son and assistant Davide Ancelotti, but Paul Clement will join him as an assistant for the 2026 World Cup campaign.

Reports claim that Ancelotti recently held a conversation with Casemiro. This was not their first discussion since Casemiro left Real Madrid, but this time, the objective was clear: to gauge his perspective on the Brazil national team and the possibility of his return. The outcome was encouraging for Ancelotti, as he felt Casemiro left the door open for a reunion.

Another key player Ancelotti is eyeing is Neymar. In fact, Neymar has been one of Ancelotti’s supporters. Antony is another player Ancelotti is counting on, hoping he can perform well with the team in the 2026 World Cup.

Overall, Ancelotti’s gradual transition to the Brazil national team bench, coinciding with the end of his tenure at Real Madrid, marks the beginning of a new chapter in one of the most eventful phases of his career.
