Football: Reports: Ancelotti deal with Brazil burst

According to reports, Carlo Ancelotti does not become a new national soccer coach in Brazil. The 65 -year -old Italian is said to have rejected the offer. According to “Marca”, he had flown to London to sign the contract. But the collaboration did not come about again.

According to the reports, Ancelotti is said to have thanked the Brazilian leader of the association for the interest, but is now examining an offer from Saudi Arabia. The Brazilians failed for the second time to sign the highly decorated coach.

Did Real block the deal?

He had already taken over the Seleção weakening for years ago. According to the association managers, there was an oral agreement at the time. Ancelotti stayed with Real.

There is a lot of speculation about the exact background of renewed failure. According to the transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Real is said to have blocked the deal. And the Brazilians are not willing to wait much longer.

According to reports, Ancelotti demands a severance payment, since his contract is valid for the royal for a year until June 30, 2026. After Real’s President Florentino Pérez is said to have heard of an oral agreement between Ancelotti and the Brazilian Association, he rejected such a payment.

Already a new candidate in Brazil

The Brazilian portal “O Globo” wrote: “The deal between Carlo Ancelotti and the CBF failed on a big obstacle: Real Madrid.” In Brazil, the Portuguese Jorge Jesus (70/al-Hilal) is now considered a candidate for the coaching post that the South Americans want to have filled up to the upcoming World Cup qualifiers in early June.

It is questionable how things will continue with Ancelotti and Real or whether the three parties may still agree. This also remains uncertain how Bayer Leverkusen’s coach Xabi Alonso continues. The Spaniard is the favorite for the successor of Ancelotti at Real. Leverkusen urges a decision, Alonso’s contract is still valid until mid -2026.

Ancelotti’s second term in the Spanish capital started in the summer of 2021. The end this summer would not come abrupt or surprisingly after a disappointing season.

The former Italian international is one of the most successful coaches in the global football business.
