Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti recently confirmed that he will end his coaching relationship with Real Madrid on May 25 and officially take over the Brazilian national team on the 26th.
The news was officially announced by the Brazilian Football Association (CBF) a few days ago, and Ancelotti himself also responded positively for the first time at a press conference. At the pre-match press conference before Real Madrid's home game against Real Mallorca, Ancelotti mentioned the coaching of the Brazilian national team.
Ancelotti said: "From the 26th, I will become the head coach of the Brazilian national team. This is official news. The Brazilian Football Association has issued an announcement. As for Real Madrid, they will issue their own statement at the most appropriate time. There is no problem between us."
"All attention is now focused on Real Madrid's final three league games of the season. I hope to put a beautiful end to this journey at Real Madrid in the most professional manner."
Ancelotti seemed calm about the new chapter that was about to begin. He said: "I know the next two weeks will be very busy, as I have to prepare for several key matches. Starting from the 26th, I will embark on a new challenge."
"If someone had told me that I would win 11 titles in four years, I would have signed this journey without hesitation. I have great respect for this place, the players and the fans. I have no regrets because I gave it my all."
In addition, Ancelotti also made it clear that he has always had a good relationship with Real Madrid: "I have never felt that Real Madrid does not love me. This is a club that I will always respect and be grateful to."
Before officially taking over Brazil, Ancelotti still hopes to lead Real Madrid to a victory this season. Ancelotti will become one of the first non-South American coaches to coach the Brazilian national team. This appointment is also seen as an important strategic deployment of the Brazilian Football Association before the 2026 World Cup.
