Carlo Ancelotti, the current manager of Real Madrid, is rumored to be the next manager of the Brazilian national team beginning in the year 2024, according to a few news outlets in Brazil and Spain.
In the month of January, an official statement about the same matter will be issued.
Tite stepped down as Brazil’s manager after the FIFA World Cup 2022, which was held in Qatar, and Ancelotti has been at the top of Brazil’s wishlist for a replacement ever since. Since then, Ramon Menezes has been serving as the interim manager of the Selecao as the organization continues to search for a permanent replacement for Tite at Real Madrid.
Despite this, the 64-year-old strategist has made it quite plain that he has every intention of remaining in his current position at the Santiago Bernabeu until the conclusion of his current contract in 2024.
In spite of this, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) did not give up their chase of Ancelotti, and it is said that they were willing to wait until next year for the Italian to become available.
And after meeting with the president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues, over the course of the last week in Spain, it is now believed that Carlo Ancelotti has decided to take over as the manager of Brazil beginning in the summer of 2024, when his current contract with Real Madrid would come to an end.
It has been stated that the leader of Real Madrid would pick a close colleague of his to work alongside Menezes until next year, when Menezes will take over as manager.
There have been discussions of Davide Ancelotti, Carlo Ancelotti’s son, taking over as a coach for the Brazil national team in order to help smooth the transition. However, according to the article, the possibility has been ruled out, and the seasoned strategist will choose someone else to review the situation with Menezes.
It is thought that Real Madrid is aware of all of these occurrences, and that they have accepted Ancelotti’s willingness to take on this new challenge in his career the following year. On the other hand, the two sides have reached a consensus that an announcement won’t be made until the early portions of the year 2024.
