Brazil gives Ancelotti final deadline to make a decision amid Real Madrid uncertainty | OneFootball

According to a report from SPORT, it has been learned that Brazil have made their intention clear regarding Carlo Ancelotti’s future and they will not wait until the end of the season for the Italian to respond to their offer.

As reported by the outlet, it has been learned that the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has set a deadline for the Real Madrid manager to make a decision, demanding clarity shortly after the Copa del Rey final on April 26..

The final, to be played against Barcelona, is now shaping up to be a crucial moment in Ancelotti’s future at the club.

Already under a lot of stress following Champions League elimination against Arsenal, the Italian faces growing uncertainty regarding his position at the club.

A loss to Barça in the Copa del Rey final could further accelerate the conclusion of his second spell in charge of Los Blancos.

It is no secret that Brazil have long recognised Ancelotti as their top option to take over the coaching role. However, their patience seems to be wearing off.

They no longer intend to wait until the end of Real Madrid’s prolonged campaign, which includes participation in the FIFA Club World Cup from June 14 to July 13. The CBF want a commitment well before then..

If Ancelotti fails to reply in time, Brazil will look to domestic options, as they are unwilling to be treated as a second option. Their purpose is to move quickly, no matter how matters unfold in Madrid.

There will be a change at Real Madrid

In the meantime, Real Madrid are already laying the groundwork for the managerial change at the club.

For now, everything points to former midfield megastar Xabi Alonso as the leading candidate to take over next season.

However, in the event of an early departure, Santiago Solari — currently part of the club’s technical chart — could step in as interim coach, particularly for the Club World Cup.

Ancelotti’s future now hinges on the next few weeks. With a major final looming and national expectations calling, the Italian has a decision to make — one that could define the next chapter of his storied career.
